ADVICE
State/External Efficacy Reviewer
Published (public domain) information and thirteen reports from small plot replicated trials conducted in Spain, Costa Rica and South Africa—in both covered
and field cropping situations including a number of different fruit and vegetable crops—were provided in support of the proposed registration. Application was
mostly via injection into drip irrigation equipment. Assessment methods included nematode induced root galls via a root nodulation index, percentage plants
with disease indications, yield, weed numbers and plant vigour ratings.
Trials were conducted in varying conditions in the three countries and in a variety of soil types and crops. Efficacy in this wide variety of agronomic situations
provided evidence that similar efficacy is likely in Australian situations. The trial data demonstrated suitable efficacy in greenhouse trials in sand on clay loam
with manure; field tomatoes, cabbage and lettuce on sandy loam soils; and strawberries and melons in clay loams.
Results demonstrated good control of nematodes resulting in enhanced plant vigour. Weed control and fungal disease control was evident in a number of
trials. No evidence of phytotoxicity was found in crops planted subsequent to treatment in any of the trials. Trials undertaken in South Africa and Costa Rica
demonstrated equivalent efficacy to relevant reference products or otherwise acceptable levels of control.
The APVMA is satisfied that the proposed product AGROCELHONE NE SOIL FUMIGANT, when used according to label directions, should be efficacious
should not result in undue damage to subsequent crops.
