Plant nutrition was apparently not a major factor in the decline, as shown by experimental application of nutrients. Fumigation of the soil with methyl bromide increased yield. The yield increase associated with aldicarb treatment showed good correlation with tolerance to Pratylenchus thornei. Ethylene dibromide had no consistent effect on the yield of wheat or numbers of P. thornei, while terbufos gave a small reduction in P. thornei and a small increase in yield. The data indicate that P. thornei is at least partially responsible for the wheat yield decline.
