Abstract The sting nematode (Belonolaimus longicaudatus) is one of the most economically damaging pests of strawberry in Florida. In this study we evaluated in-season application of fluopyram for management of B. longicaudatus populations at nine commercial strawberry farms. In-crop application of fluopyram reduced B. longicaudatus population densities in soil by the end of the growing season in four out of six of the commercial strawberry farms where B. longicaudatus was detected during the growing season. At the four sites, relative suppression of B. longicaudatus by fluopyram ranged from 54 to 96%. Despite significant suppression of B. longicaudatus population densities in soil, in-crop application of fluopyram did not result in greater strawberry plant vigour by the end of the growing season. Overall, in-crop application of fluopyram shows considerable potential to reduce B. longicaudatus populations on strawberry in Florida.

氟吡菌酰胺作为一种拯救线虫剂，用于管理佛罗里达州商业草莓上的刺线虫（Belonolaimus longicaudatus）

摘要 刺线虫（Belonolaimus longicaudatus）是佛罗里达州草莓经济上危害最大的害虫之一。在这项研究中，我们评估了在 9 个商业草莓农场管理 B. longicaudatus 种群的季节应用氟吡菌酰胺。在生长季节结束时，六分之四的商业草莓农场中氟吡菌酰胺的作物内施用降低了土壤中长尾梭菌的种群密度，其中在生长季节期间检测到了长尾梭菌。在四个站点，氟吡菌酰胺对长尾梭菌的相对抑制范围为 54% 到 96%。尽管显着抑制了土壤中 B. longicaudatus 的种群密度，但在生长季节结束时，作物内施用氟吡菌酰胺并没有导致草莓植物活力增强。全面的，
