Soil Nematode Control
Soil nematodes, microscopic worms that affect plant health, can significantly impact agricultural productivity. Controlling harmful nematodes involves an integrated approach combining cultural, biological, and chemical methods. Crop rotation with resistant varieties disrupts nematode life cycles, while organic amendments like neem cake improve soil health and suppress populations. Beneficial nematodes and biocontrol agents such as fungi and bacteria target pests without harming the ecosystem. Chemical nematicides, though effective, are used judiciously to minimize environmental risks. Advanced techniques like molecular diagnostics help in identifying nematode species, enabling precise management. By adopting sustainable nematode control measures, farmers can protect crops while maintaining soil biodiversity.
