This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different application systems seed treatment (ST), in-furrow application and association of both (ST + in-furrow) and chemical treatments for control of Pratylenchus brachyurus and Meloydogine javanica under field condition and controlled atmosphere in pots. The experimental design was a randomized block, with split plot and four replications. In the main plots were allocated three application systems: seed treatment, in-furrow + seed treatment (double dose) and in-furrow. The subplots were composed of different chemical treatments: check, abamectin + thiamethoxam + fludioxonil + metalaxyl-M + thiabendazole (30+42+9+1.5+1.2g a.i. ha-1), imidacloprid + thiodicarb + carbendazim + thiram (63+189+18+42g a.i. ha-1), fipronil + thiophanate-methyl + pyraclostrobin (30+27+3g a.i. ha-1), carbofuran + carbendazim + thiram (420+18+42g a.i. ha-1). It was evaluated the population of nematodes in the roots (field and controlled atmosphere), leaf area and shoot dry weight (controlled atmosphere). It was found that association of TS + in-furrow application provided higher efficacy and residual effect for nematode control under field and controlled atmosphere conditions. The treatment with abamectin + thiamethoxam + fludioxonil + metalaxyl-M + thiabendazole delivered greatest levels of control, with significant benefits in plant development.
