Symptoms and Management of Root Knot in Cotton

The main symptom of this nematode is the formation of knots on the roots, small knots are formed on the roots of the diseased plant, due to which nutrients and water do not reach the plant smoothly, due to which the growth of the plant stops. As a result the plant dries up and the yield decreases.

Control:

  • In summer, after light irrigation of the field, do 2-3 deep ploughing at an interval of 10-12 days. Due to this, the nematodes come to the upper surface and are destroyed by high temperature.

  • To control it, apply Nematofree Plus (Verticillium Chlamydosporium) 2-4 kg/acre at the time of field preparation and sowing.
