Almond, peach and olive nurseries were prepared in sandy soil infested by Pratylenchus vulnus in southern Italy. Soil treatments before or at sowing included methyl bromide at the rate of 40 g/m2; 1.3 D at the rate of 15 ml/m2; dazomet at the rate of 100 g/m2 without plastic tarping, or at the rate of either 100 or 50 g/m2 with tarping, and fenamiphos Gr 5 at the rate of 100 g/m2 or 240 CS at the rate of 40 g/m2 as single application; fenamiphos Gr 10 and 240 CS were also applied at planting and two, four and six months after sowing, each time at the rate of 10 g/m2. The experiment was discontinued ten and thirteen months after sowing, respectively for olive and peach and almond. Methyl bromide, 1.3 D or fenamiphos, or dazomet, under certain circumstances, produced agronomically suitable plants, but none of the treatments eradicated the nematode.
