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 />
