Nematode control trial under way in Elk Mound corn field
The University of Wisconsin extension pathologist Craig Gray leads a nematode control trial on a 215 acre Elk Mound field. Four products Furadan Counter MoCap and Amaze are tested for different concentrations to link nematode levels with yield. Wayne Harrison owns the plot and samples will track population and yield this year and at harvest. Moderate infestation of 788 lesion nematodes per four ounce soil sample prompts caution and further study in west central Wisconsin.
