Research Project: Evaluation of Biomineral Soil Amendments for Plantparasitic Nematode Control

Location: Nematology Laboratory

Project Number: 1275-22000-203-01
Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Oct 01, 2001
End Date: Sep 30, 2006

Objective:
(1) Evaluate the efficacy of biomineral soil amendments in controlling crop losses in major nematode-impacted crop production systems; (2) develop strategies for optimizing nematode-antagonistic effects of biomineral soil amendments.

Approach:
Conduct systematic experiments involving applications of N-VIRO process biomineral amendments to fields infested with soybean cyst and other nematodes, in order to determine effects upon nematode populations and crop yield.
