· Root knot nematodes are very common among most cactus species. This article has more information about how to detect cactus root nematodes and the best methods for managingnematodes in cactus roots. Plant-feeding nematodes go through 6 stages—an egg stage, 4 immature stages, and an adult stage. Many species can develop from egg to egg-laying adult in as little as 21 to 28 days during warm summer months. Immature stages and adult males are long, slender worms. Mature adult females of some species such as root knot nematode change to a swollen, ...See full list on ipm.ucanr.eduRoot knot nematodes usually cause distinctive swellings, called galls, on the roots of affected plants. Infestations of these nematodes are fairly easy to recognize; dig up a few plants with symptoms (see below), wash or gently tap the soil from the roots, and examine the roots for galls. The nematodes feed and develop within the galls, which can g...See full list on ipm.ucanr.eduManagement of nematodes is difficult. The most reliable practices are preventive, including sanitation and choice of plant varieties. You can reduce existing infestations through fallowing, crop rotation, and soil solarization. However, these methods reduce nematodes primarily in the top foot or so of the soil, so they are effective only for about ...See full list on ipm.ucanr.eduDreistadt, S. H., J. K. Clark, and M. L.

Top of pageSee full list on ipm.ucanr.edu Points to remember when sampling for nematodes: Because of their microscopic size, the only way to diag-nosis a plant-parasitic nematode problem is to collect soil and/or plant tissue samples and send them to a nematode diagnostic lab for analysis. Here are five effective tactics for controlling nematode populations. Cultural nematodemanagement are one of the most effective methods of managingnematodes. Expert methods to diagnose and eradicate plant-parasitic nematodes using sustainable, biological, and strategic chemical control strategies. To design effective and sustainable nematodemanagement strategies, it is essential to integrate fundamental knowledge of plant defense mechanisms with applied breeding, microbial biocontrol, and ecological approaches that offer environmentally safer alternatives.
