| Summary: | This document summarizes the behavior, movement, and effectiveness of nematicides in the plant root zone. It explains how soil type, moisture, tillage, and irrigation practices influence nematicide distribution and efficacy. The paper distinguishes between fumigant and nonfumigant nematicides, detailing their modes of action and limitations. It emphasizes that effective nematode control depends not only on chemical toxicity but also on proper application, soil retention, and environmental conditions to maintain lethal concentrations in the root zone. First published 1997.
