Damage from root knot nematode in tomato

  • Root knot nematodes are small ‘eelworms’ that live in soil
  • Nematodes often enter through tomato roots. as their number increases, small roots get damaged , and irregular shaped tumors are formed.
  • This pest attacks more in the nursery stage of tomato crops.
  • This causes the tomato crop to completely dry.
  • Use carbofuran 3% GR @ 8-10 kg / acre or cartap hydrochloride 50% SP as soil treatment 
  • As a biological treatment, use Pacillomyces lenesius @ 1 kg/acre.
