| Abstract | ||
| Nematodes especially root knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica, are amongst the factors responsible for reducing the production of cucumber which is a suitable host for this pest. In order to investigate the efficacy of the nematicide Imicyafos (Nemakick 30% SL) four concentrations 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 l/ha of a commercial form of this nematicide and 150 kg/ha of nemaphos (nemacur 10% G) were applied to the soil at the time of transplanting cucumber seedlings and a week earlier respectively on Sultan variety cucumber. Nemakick was able to reduce the nematode population effectively compared with the control treatment. At the dose of 2.5 and 10 l/ha it reduced the final pest density by 75% and reproduction factor by 45% but it was ineffective at the dose of 1 l/h. Nemacur at the same doses as Nemakick, decreased the nematode infestation by 49% compared with the untreated control. Nemakick at 2/5 l/ha commercial form dose could be recommended to be used for controlling M. javanica in greenhouse cucumber production. | ||
