Ditylenchus destructor is a plant pathogenic nematode commonly known as the potato rot nematode. Other common names include the iris nematode, the potato tuber eelworm and the potato tuber nematode. It is an endoparasitic, migratory nematode commonly found in areas such as the United States, Europe, central Asia and Southern Africa.
Agriotes sputator [1] is a species of click beetle, commonly known as the common click beetle. [2] The adult beetle is brown and inconspicuous, and the larvae live in the soil and are known as wireworms.
Sugarcane grown in soil amended 6 months previously with sawdust, sugarcane trash, grass hay or lucerne hay had 78%, 61%, 96% and 92%, respectively, fewer lesion nematodes in roots than sugarcane growing in non-amended soil. [7] Amendments with high C/N ratios are most effective. [4] P. zeae populations can be controlled through by weed-free ...
Potato cyst nematodes are important economically due to the fact that they can substantially reduce crop yields. Globodera pallida are able to cause 80% yield loss in a potato field if left untreated. [8] On a more global scale, the Australian potato industry is worth about AUD$500 million yearly which equates to $340 million U.S. dollars. [7] [9]
Cabbage and crucifers' symptoms start where the tissue makes contact with the soil. Often there is a change in color and in the case of a carrot, the whole taproot can be decayed leaving just the epidermis. Sweet potatoes show clear lesions that grow rapidly leaving a recognizable watery and soft, oozy tissue where only the peel remains intact.
Potatoes are root vegetables that grow in soil underground. Even after picking, potatoes almost always carry around some dirt and debris that may have some pesticides or bacteria in the mix ...

Copper pesticides must be used in quantities that minimizes long term copper accumulation in the soil. Accumulated copper in soils can inhibit root growth and adversely affect microorganisms and earthworms. Finely ground copper formulations are more active than coarsely ground formulations.
