Due to the variable regulations around (de)registration of pesticides, your national list of registered pesticides or relevant authority should be consulted to determine which products are legally allowed for use in your country when considering chemical control. Pesticides should always be used in a lawful manner, consistent with the product's label.
Chemical Control
Moreira and Henriques Neto (2001) studied the control of M. mayaguensis on guava seedlings in Brazil. They used various nematicides but did not demonstrate a reduction in the development of the nematode population.
Biological Control
In Senegal, the two local strains (ORS 18692 S7 and ORS 18692 S5) of the nematophagous fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora trapped 98% of groups of 7-day-old M. mayaguensis juveniles within 48 h; optimal growth occurred at 25-30°C and at pH 5.6, but salinity inhibited development. When the fungus was incorporated into compost blocks before sowing and transplanting tomato seedlings, it reduced M. mayaguensis populations and stimulated seedling growth in pot experiments during the cool season (28°C) and in field trials during the hot season (35°C). Both strains were efficient in reducing M. mayaguensis and other species of Meloidogyne populations (Duponnois et al., 1995). Duponnois et al. (2001) investigated the effects of organic amendments on the interactions between A. oligospora and M. mayaguensis parasitizing tomato plants.
