Nematode Trial Results
In the summer and autumn, Eden set up a series of replicated field trials with the two lead nematode formulation products coded as H2Y and B2Y in glasshouse crops in Spain and Greece. The traditional nematicide product, Vydate L (oxamyl), was chosen as the competitor standard.
All the trials were on Cucumbers and root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp) were present in all 4 trials. Crop vigour, numbers of ripe fruit and yield of harvested fruit are part of the standard assessments when recording the nematode damage to the plants.
The highest rates of both Terpene formulations achieved a slightly greater number of ripe fruit than the Vydate L standard and significantly better than the untreated.
The highest rates of both Terpene formulations achieved higher yields than the standard treatment Vydate L.

Clive Newitt, Managing Director of Eden Research plc, said:
"The results not only show how very effective our products are against root-knot nematodes but also how competitive they are against the market's conventional chemical nematicide (oxamyl) which clearly indicates the potential for its commercialisation through licensing agreements."
