The effect of the nematicide cadusafos on the hatching of the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida in potato root diffusate, soil leachate, and distilled water was investigated. Cadusafos had a significant effect on the hatching, migration, movement, and root invasion by the second-stage juveniles. Hatching was completely inhibited at low concentrations of cadusafos (0.002-0.004 microgram/ml) but hatching resumed a week after removing the nematicide. At concentrations of 0.05 microgram/ml and higher of analytical-grade cadusafos, the inhibition of hatching was permanent.
