What is Identification of Alternatives for the Management of Foliar Nematodes in Floriculture about?

## Abstract The foliar nematodes, __Aphelenchoides__ spp, have emerged as important pests of ornamentals in North America during the last decade. Due to the ban on the use of potentially toxic pesticides, there are currently no nematicides registered to manage foliar nematodes on ornamentals. Therefore, we have evaluated a biological [__Burkholderia cepacia__ (syn __Pseudomonas cepacia__)], two plant products [clove (__Syzygium aromaticum__) extract and Nimbecidine (azadirachtin)] and twelve chemical pesticides registered for the management of insects, mites, slugs or diseases of ornamentals, against __Aphelenchoides fragariae__ on the most popular ornamental, hosta (__Hosta__ spp), for two consecutive years. We found ZeroTol (270 g liter^−1^ peroxyacetic acid), currently labeled as a broad‐spectrum fungicide/algicide, to be a very potent nematicide that killed 100% of the nematodes in water suspension. It also caused over 70% reduction in __A fragariae__ population in soil and in the leaves without any phytotoxicity. __B cepacia__ caused 67–85% reduction in __A fragariae__ population in leaves and 50% reduction in the soil whereas insecticidal soap caused over 72% reduction in lea
