Tare Soil Disinfestation from Cyst Nematodes Using Inundation.

ABSTRACT: The dissemination of soil tares in the potato and sugar beet processing industry is one of the main paths for the spread of potato cyst nematodes (PCN), a severe quarantine pest. Efficient measures for the disinfestation of tare soil from PCN, but also from beet cyst nematodes (BCN), are needed. In our study, Globodera pallida (a PCN) and Heterodera schachtii (a BCN) cysts were sealed in gauze bags and imbedded in sedimentation basins. The cysts were either placed (a) in a presedimentation basin (Brukner basin) for three days, (b) in the presedimentation basin for three days and subsequently in sedimentation basins for nine weeks or (c) in sedimentation basins for nine weeks (without presedimentation). We tested the viability of the eggs and juveniles by hatching assays and u
