| Question: | "With the loss of Nemacur (fenamiphos), what hope do we have for managing plant parasitic nematodes?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Florida |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "Soil-borne plant parasitic nematodes are among the worst pests Florida golf courses face, especially with the loss of Nemacur. Curfew (1,3-D) is currently the only effective commercial alternative, according to numerous studies conducted by Dr. Billy Crow, University of Florida Landscape Nematologist, but it can only be applied once yearly and does not have a year-long residual. In regard to nematode damage, managing the symptoms is just as important as controlling the pest. Since nematodes feed on turfgrass roots, it is important to apply supplemental water and nutrients to infected areas on a light/frequent basis during times of intense pressure. Nematode populations fluctuate greatly throughout the year, and it is important to target peak times to mitigate stress. Other alternatives are currently being evaluated, and we may finally have several effective products within the next couple of years." |
