Soil-applied nematicides are applied at drill<strong>in</strong>g, with <strong>the</strong> peak <strong>in</strong> March (FERA, 2006). IRS states that<br />
granulates are rarely cost effective to c<strong>on</strong>trol beet-cyst nematodes. Partially resistant varieties and<br />
catch crops are used to reduce white beet-cyst nematode damage. Resistant varieties reduce <strong>the</strong><br />
multiplicati<strong>on</strong> rate, whereas appropriate catch crops allow for cysts to hatch but prevent completi<strong>on</strong> of<br />
<strong>the</strong> life cycle and <strong>the</strong>refore multiplicati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
