Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Nematicide effects on root galling at harvest (A) and tomato yields (B-E) in 2018 trial. Within each subfigure, means with different letters are significantly different (P  <  0.05) based on Fisher’s protected LSD. “1,3-D + Fluop.” indicates preplant 1,3-D followed by fluopyram (237 g a.i./ha) at 3 weeks after planting. “Fluop. single” indicates a single fluopyram chemigation (237 g a.i./ha) at transplanting. “Fluop. split” indicates split fluopyram chemigation with 118.5 g a.i./ha each applied at transplanting and 3 weeks after transplanting.

Figure 4:

Nematicide effects on marketable yield, crop value, and net income in 2019 and 2020 trials. USD is United States dollars. Net income is crop value minus nematicide product cost, not including any labor or equipment costs. Within each subfigure, means with different letters are significantly different (P  <  0.05) based on Fisher’s protected LSD.
