STUBBY ROOT NEMATODE<br />

SYMPTOMS<br />

Stubby root nematodes may reduce overall growth of the plant<br />

and yield, especially during growing seasons with long periods<br />

of drought.<br />

MANAGEMENT<br />

Practices that minimize the impact of stubby root nematodes<br />

can be economically viable but have not been available. Crop<br />

rotation and other cultural practices may be helpful in reducing<br />

their number; however, nematicide application usually costs<br />

more than the benefit that can be achieved.<br />
