The purpose of the experiment was to investigate whether the Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN) will survive steam treatment in SoilSaver. The results from the SoilSaver experiments show that heat treatment with steam affects PCN’s ability to hatch from the eggs. Juveniles who did hatch, died shortly after. No larvae or eggs that survived the treatment were found in any of the replications.

Green crop protection: Cruciferous plants as a green alternative to chemical pesticides in cereals
Cereal plants infested with plant pathogenic fungi or nematodes may have reduced grain quality and yield. These diseases can partly be controlled by using chemical pesticides. The purpose of this project is to identify "green" methods to mitigate plant pathogenic fungi and nematodes in cereals, as an alternative to chemical pesticides.
