Root Knot Nematode will cause harm in tomato, control it like this

The nematode attacks the roots and produces tiny galls. These galls then block the movement of nutrients and water in the plant system resulting in its wilting and finally leading to its death. Symptoms include yellowing of the foliage and wilting of the upper leaves.
This can be avoided by using resistant varieties. Use deep ploughing as a method to control root-knot nematodes. Neem cake at the rate of 80 Kg/Acre should be applied for effective control. Carbofuran 3G at the rate of 8 kg/acre should be applied as a soil treatment.
Paecilomyces lilacinus (Nematofree) @ 10 gram/kg seed for seed treatment, 50 gm/meter sq for nursery treatment. Paecilomyces lilacinus (Nematofree) @ 3 kg/acre used as a soil treatment.
