Abstract
The value of maize and sorghum as rotational crops for management of M. arenaria in peanut was studied in two 3-year experiments in a field near Headland, Alabama, USA. At-plant applications of EDB were included in some of the systems to determine the value of nematicide use in the rotations. Maize and sorghum reduced juvenile populations in soil: however, the populations recovered quickly when peanut followed either of the 2 other crops. The use of EDB to control M. arenaria in a continuous peanut system was not reliable; yield differences between fumigated and unfumigated plots under continuous peanut culture, while significant during the first year, were not so after 3 years. Highest peanut yields were obtained from plots that had been planted with maize or sorghum in the preceeding 2 years and which had been fumigated every year. Results showed that reliance on maize or sorghum rotations as the sole means for managing M. arenaria in peanut fields cannot be justified economically
