Methods of applying currently available fumigant and non‐fumigant nematicides to soil are briefly discussed. These are: seed, seed furrow, crop row, seedbed, planting hole, localised topsoil and topsoil treatments. The choice of treatment depends on many factors including the pest to be controlled and the value of the crop. The Vertical Band‐Rotary Harrow technique can be used for seed furrow, wide band and topsoil treatment and has advantages over conventional techniques.
