Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of three nematicides in the control of nematodes that affect plantain (Musa acuminata x M. balbisiana, AAB): one at the Corozal Agricultural Substation and the other at the Gurabo Substation. The results show that all of the three doses of Dasanit 15G. Mobcap 10G, and Furadan 10G tested were effective in controlling nematodes, increasing yield, and extending the useful life of the plantation so that three crops were harvested without renovating the plantation.
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of various nematicides in the control of nematodes that affect plantains (Musa acuminata x M. balbisiana, AAB). The results obtained indicated that application of the nematicides Nemacur G, Dasanit G, Mocap G. Temik G, Furadan G, Vydate G. and Nemagon E. C., at their recommended dosages and frequency, prevented reduction in yield of plantain plants due to nematode attack. Use of these nematicides has made possible for the first time in Puerto Rico the harvest of three successive crops of plantains without renovating the plantation after the first harvest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
