A survey was conducted in 4 major flue-cured tobacco producing countries to determine use of nematicides for control of plant-parasitic nematodes on flue-cured tobacco. Nematicides were used on 60-95% of the flue-cured tobacco crop in Brazil, Canada, USA and Zimbabwe. The choice of fumigant and nonfumigant nematicides, however, varied greatly as influenced by the edaphic factors, nematode species, and other pests present. The major nematicides, application methods, and efficacy evaluation systems used in these countries were addressed.
