The soil
samples were taken to the Agricultural Research Council Nematology unit for
evaluation.
The usual
nematodes that are normally a problem to potatoes were counted in a 250 cc soil
sample.
The
trials were conducted by the research department of S.A. Golden leaf, a tobacco
marketing and extension company.
Various
treatments with combinations were done as an IPM (Integrated Pest Management)
program.
Plants
were removed and root evaluations were done. Various ratings were given
according to the condition of the roots and nematode galls.
PURPOSE OF TRIAL
- Compare nematode count between trial and control
- Take 3 sample by planting season
- Compare yield between trial and control
- Compare costs of trial and control

To compare the effect Mos with standard nematicides (aldicarb)
To compare a range of rates
To test the product Mos in ratoon sugarcane
To evaluate the product Mos as a standalone product
and in combination with CMS
To establish whether there are any residual effect from one year to the next.
During 2016 trials were initiated at a Cape Span farm.
Pratylenchus nematodes are the biggest problem.
Two treatments were applied 20l/ha Mos Nema and 12 kg/ha Fulvic Acid(72%). The first in September and then again in December 2016.
The control treatment was the standard chemical
treatment used on apples, also two applications Nema trials at Villiersdorp, Western Cape.
