Evaluation of a novel nematicide for the use in the management of the potato cyst nematode, Globodera pallida (Student: Patrick Norshie)

Abstract

The aim of this study is to fully evaluate the performance of the novel nematicide for the management of PCN.

Description

The objectives of this studty are to: -

1. Establish the activity of the nematicide against Globodera pallida;

2. Elucidate the mode of activity of the nematicide;

3. Understand factors affecting the performance of the nematicide in field conditions;

4. Understand the persistence of the nematicide in field soil.

5. Demonstrate how the nematicide could be integrated into a management programme for Globodera pallida
