Abstract: Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of Aldicarb and Giberellic acid singly and in combination for controlling Tylenchulus semipenetrans nematode, infecting Citrus sinensis var.Balady, in relation to its growth and yield. Plant hormone, Giberellic acid and nematicide, Aldicarb and their combination significantly suppressed T. semipenetrans population in both soil and roots of Balady orange one and two months post application, and increased its growth and yield than that of control. The combination of Aldicarb and Giberellic increased the growth and yield of orange tress more than the application of these chemicals alone. Yield of citrus per tree increased by up to 18.4, 17.8 and 43.6% over untreated control for treated trees with Aldicarb, Giberellic acid and their combination, respectively.
The hatchability of T. semipenetrans eggs was highly suppressed by Aldicarb and its combination with Giberellic acid. On the contrary, Giberellic acid alone did not affect the egg hatching.
