Summary Soil compaction associated with frequent cultivation of potatoes was partly removed with a deep winged‐tine coulter. This increased the yield of tubers of cv. Cara in 1987 and 1988 and of cv. Désirée in 1987 in soil which was heavily infested with potato cyst‐nematode, Globodera rostochiensis (Woll.), and which was treated with oxamyl at 5.6 kg ha ‐1 . In 1988, in soil not treated with oxamyl, deep cultivation significantly decreased the yield of cv. Cara. In both years, oxamyl decreased numbers of G. rostochiensis eggs in the soil following cv. Désirée potatoes but not following cv. Cara which were resistant to the nematode.
