RING NEMATODE<br />

SYMPTOMS<br />

Symptoms caused by ring nematodes are nondescript.<br />

Generally they may cause some stunting of the plants, but<br />

their major effect is on overall yield, especially in seasons that<br />

include long periods of drought.<br />

MANAGEMENT<br />

Management of ring nematodes can be best achieved by<br />

crop rotation and other cultural practices because they are<br />

not very pathogenic and have minimal economic impact.<br />

Sources of resistance remain unknown, and nematicides can<br />

be too costly to provide a good return on the investment.<br />
