Economic feasibility of nematode control in dryland maize in South Africa
Riekert, H.F.
Abstract
Eighteen nematicide trials were conducted over a period of four seasons in
the western maize production area of South Africa. The effect of nematode
infestation on maize yields in aldicarb and carbofuran treated plots
compared with untreated controls was investigated. The study indicated that
increased yield associated with nematicide application was not necessarily
financially warranted. The present cost of nematicides registered for maize
is the most important constraint in the economic control of nematodes under
local conditions.

Résumé
Dix huit essais ont ete menes pendant une periode de quatre saisons Sur
un champ de Production du mais en Afrique du Sud. L'effet d 'infestation de
nematodes des rendements du mais plante en serre traite avec aldicarb &
carbofuran a ete analyse et compare avec des controles. Le resultat a
indique qu'une augmentation avec l'application de nematicides etait
necessariement et financierement exigee. Le cout actuel du nematocide
requis pour le mais est la contrainte la plus importante dans le controle
economique des nematodes suite aux conditions locales.
