| Carrot: Root-knot nematode |
|
Use IPM (Integrated Pest Management) for successful plant problem management. |
|
Biology Nematodes are microscopic, parasitic worms that live in the soil and in infected plant parts. Carrot roots attacked by root-knot nematodes are stunted, may have many short, bushy side roots, and are generally lumpy or otherwise distorted. The tops of infected carrots may be stunted, yellow, or show other signs of water stress or root damage. Plantings typically show symptoms first in circular patches, which can increase in size each season. |
