What is Nematode
  • Nematodes are like very thin threads. Their body is long cylindrical and the whole body is without segment.
  • The nematode stays inside the soil and keeps a lump in the roots of the crop and damages the crop.
  • Biological treatment is the best solution to control this pest.
  • Soil treatment is the best way to control this pest.
  • chemical treatment :- Soil treat with CARBOFURAN 3 % GR @ 10 kg / acre 
  • Biological treatment:- soil treat at the rate of 50-100 kg FYM @ PAECILOMYCES LINACEOUS (Nematofree) @ 1 kg/acre should be broadcast in an open field.
  • Whenever this product is used, make sure that there is enough moisture in the field.

  • 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.
  • For biological control of nematodes, mix 200 kg Neem cake or 2 kg Verticillium chlamydosporium or 2 kg Paecilomyces lilacinus or 2 kg Trichoderma harzianum with 100 kg of good rotten dung and mix it at the rate of one acre per acre.

Stem and bulb nematode in Onion and Garlic:- Nematode enters through stoma or plant wounds and create galls or malformations in plant growth. This allows for the entrance of secondary pathogens like fungi and bacteria.  Symptoms are stunted growth, discoloration of bulbs, and swollen stems.

Management:-

  • Bulbs that show signs of disease should not be planted.
  • Proper sanitation of fields and tools is essential because this nematode can survive and reproduce in infected plants and residues.
  • Apply Carbofuron 3% Granular @ 10 kg/ acre in soil for better control of Nematodes.
  • Apply Neem Cake @ 200 Kg/ Acre in soil for organic control of Nematodes.
