Nematodes

Target Crops: Tomatoes, Peppers, Carrots & Vegetable crops.

Damage

Plants grow slowly, in erratic spurts, and are generally dwarfed in size. When you dig up a troubled tomato or pepper plant, numerous swellings and galls are evident on the roots. Because root knot nematodes don’t move far in the soil without human help, neighboring plants may be infected while those at the end of the row remain healthy.

Prevention

  • Good crop rotations prevent nematode buildup.
  • Nematodes may be unavoidable in sandy soils in warm climates.
  • Use only nematode-free plants purchased from reliable nurseries.
