Northern root-knot nematodes<\/a> live under the ground and attack plant roots. Almost all vegetable and garden plants can be affected by the northern root-knot nematode, except cereals, grasses<\/a> and bulbous plants. Not all plants are equally susceptible to this nematode; strawberries, beets, salsify<\/a>, broad beans, onions and carrots, among others, are. Affected crops with a taproot, such as Belgian endive<\/a> and carrots show growths.
\nAfter infection, small galls are formed on the plants roots in which the nematodes live. They feed on sap from the roots. Branching of the root system also occurs.
\nThe northern root-knot nematode is less common in heavy clay soils; sandy and other light soils are preferred.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Where to find” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt” css=”.vc_custom_1551362870187{padding-left: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
