Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective mass chemotherapy is in controlling soil-borne nematodes and to identify factors that influence its success.
- Conducted over three years in six villages divided into three treatment groups, the research compared the rates of infection and re-infection among them, revealing significant decreases in nematode populations.
- Findings showed that while chemotherapy was effective, poor management practices like using fresh human waste in agriculture led to increased re-infection rates, highlighting the need for better education and practices regarding manure use.
