Abstract
Details are given of nematicidal tests, directed against the potato‐root eelworm, in 81. glazed pots of infested soil. The soil was sampled a few weeks after injection to secure data on the kill achieved, by counting the eelworm larvae hatching in root diffusate. A potato tuber was then planted in each pot and yielded information on phytotoxic or soil‐amendment effects. A second soil sample at the end of the season showed the degree to which the eelworm population had recovered after treatment. With only duplicate pots, and single batches of 100 cysts from each pot, clear‐cut results were achieved with D–D mixture and ethylene dibromide. In the present pilot test, the data were handled by ordinary analysis of variance methods, by which the lowest significant percentage kill was 73%, but the methods could be adapted for purposes of probit analysis.
