Outbreak of nematode in Brinjal crop

Outbreak of nematode in Brinjal crop
  • Due to nematodes in the soil, nodes are formed in the roots of brinjal plants.
  • Due to its outbreak, the roots of the plants are not able to absorb nutrients. Due to this, there is a big decrease in the number of flowers and fruits.
  • Leaves start to turn yellow and the entire plant remains dwarf.
  • The plant dies after dying due to excess infection.
  • Do not plant brinjal, chilli, and tomato crops for 2-3 years in the field where problems already appear. 
  • Do deep plowing in the affected field in summer.  
  • Apply marigold between 1-2 rows of brinjal crop.
  • Mix 3% of Carbofuran @ 10 kg/ acre before planting.
