Root Nematodes
Root nematodes are microscopic roundworms that live in the soil and feed on the roots of plants. They can cause significant damage to crops and plants, reducing their yields and destroying entire fields of crops. Root nematodes are a major pest in agricultural areas and can be hard to control. However, there are management practices which can reduce their numbers, including crop rotation and resistant crop varieties. Additionally, certain natural predators, including fungi and other nematodes, can be used to provide effective and safe control of root nematodes.
