Soil properties reported in the Table 2 show that experimental treatments play a similar role on pH and<br />

CEC. The degree of humification (DH) results significantly higher in “R.S.-treated” plots than in<br />

“control” plots; on the other hand in “fenamiphos-” and “FOPC-treated” plots this parameter appears very lower<br />

than in “control” plots. Humification rate<br />

(HR) in all treated plots is lower than control. Finally humification index (HI) of “fenamiphos-“ and “FOPC-“ treated<br />

plots is higher than other plots similarly to the fin<strong>di</strong>ngs of degree of humification (DH).<br />

In conclusion OMW soil amendments could be suggested for integrated nematode management strategies, as it<br />

provides a good pest suppressivity.<br />

After the first year of trial is very hard to record soil fertility variations as affected by experimental treatments. The<br />

experimental data show that both OMW soil amendments and tra<strong>di</strong>tional nematicide (fenamiphos) don’t determine<br />

decrease of soil available nutrients, soil exchangeable bases. On the other hand the effects on soil heavy metals (Zn,<br />

Cu, Pb) are unsignificant, when were compared all the treatments with “control”. Very interesting trends were observed<br />

on soil organic C and humification parameters. The apparent increase observed on soil organic C (TOC, TEC) in the<br />

plots untreated (CONTR) and treated with fenamiphos (F.MPHOS) seems in contrast with a light increase of<br />
