Begin Nematode Treatment Now
BY WILLIAM BARROW JR.
Agricultural Extension Agent
Two-thirds of the fields used for
crop production
in North Caro
lina arc infested
with nema
todes. These
microscopic
pests feed on
crop roots, of
ten stunting the
infected plants
and severely re
ducing crop BARROW
yields. Losses to nematodes range
in the millions for the state's farm
ers.
Losses aren't limited to farmers
though. Just as insects and weeds
plague gardeners, so do nematodes.
Infestations can usually be found
where vegetables have been grown
for a number of years in succes
sion. Typically, infested plants will
be unthrifty, stunted, yellow and
have galled and decayed roots.
Once a crop is infected, there is no
effective treatment. Control must
begin before the crop goes in the
ground.
Greatest losses arc evident in
crops planted during late spring or
late summer. Nematodes arc not
active while soil temperatures arc
below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. As a
result, little damage is evident on
beets, carrots, English peas, lettuce,
potatoes, radishes and other vegeta
bles planted in early spring.
Effective control begins after
harvest and consists of a combina
tion of treatments. But first, identi
fy the problem. Infected plants
have swollen roots that often
appear knotty. Talcing a nematode
sample will confirm the level of
infestation. The Agriculture Exten
sion Service office in Bolivia can
r
GARDENING TIPS
give instructions for collccting the
sample.
Begin treatment by removing the
in fee ted plants and tilling the gar
den. Exposure to the sun and dry
ing winds will kill a portion of the
nematodes. Regular tillage will
continue to reduce populations.
Sccond, plant a winter cover
crop such as annual rye or
wheat.This has proven to be benefi
cial especially when incorporated
(tilled under) in the spring.
Third, rotation of resistant and
susceptible varieties will cut popu
lations. often, the use of short-sea
son susceptible crops planted early,
followed by a fall crop that has
nematode resistance gives good
results. If possible, always plant
vegetables in a different area of the
garden. Crops such as sweet com
arc less susceptible to nematode
damage than tomatoes, peppers and
beans.
Finally, chemical control can
help. Prior to 1988, home garden
ers could purchase small containers
of methyl bromide. This chemical
can now be used only by those who
have a pesticide license. Currently
Vapam is the best material avail
able to home gardeners and it is
labeled for use on all vegetable
crops. Correct application hinges
on following label directions.
Treatment in the fall or spring is
acceptable as long as the soil tem
perature is warmer than 55 degrees
Fahrenheit Complete directions are
available from the extension office.
Nematodes are a major problem
for many gardeners, but control is
possible used a planned, systematic
approach. Call the extension office
at 253-4425 if you need more
information.
