Why we need to control nematodes?

The number of nematodes in the soil is abundant and varied. Soil nematodes are widely distributed in all types of soils. The number of nematodes in different soil depths is different. In the 10-20 cm soil layer, soil nematodes distribute most.

The role of nematodes

There are two sides to everything, and the same goes for nematodes. Let me talk about the positive side first.
Soil nematodes play a very important role in the decomposition of organic matter, nutrient conversion and energy transfer, and are an important part of the soil ecosystem. For example, nematode excreta can contribute 19% of the dissolved nitrogen in the soil. At the same time, nematodes are also used as soil indicator organisms to evaluate the ecosystem biological effects, soil health, ecosystem succession, or disturbance levels.
Almost every plant can be parasited or harmed by one or more nematodes. Some nematodes feed on plants and are commonly referred to as ‘eelworms’ in the British-speaking world. Most plant nematodes are less than 1 mm long and almost invisible to the eye. They may not impress you the way the sperm whale nematode would, but they are responsible for some 15% loss to crops per annum world-wide, equating to some US$78 billion! These soil nematodes parasitic in plants are called plant parasitic nematodes.
Plant feeding nematodes have a sharp needle-like structure in their mouth called a ‘stylet’  The stylet acts like a very small hypodermic needle and is used to pierce through cell walls and suck out the cell contents.
An example of the losses caused by eelworms is the pine wilt nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) which has been associated with the death of tens of millions of pine trees in Japan. How can something less than 1 mm long cause such devastation? The answer lies in reproduction, with the nematode reaching populations of billions per tree. That’s a lot of hungry mouths!
Sasser and Freckman surveys have shown that direct damage to food and fiber crops can reach 12% due to nematode damage, and vegetables and fruit trees can lose more than 20%.

The main hazards of nematodes are


  1. Nematodes absorb plant nutrients and affect the normal growth of plants. This results in weak plant growth, yellowing of leaves, poor growth of fruit trees, underdeveloped roots, and further absorption of nutrients.
  2. The secretions of the nematode infestation and metabolism process directly stimulate the plant cells and tissues, further leading to poor plant growth, plant malformation, and affecting agricultural product yield and quality. In the case of double-grass planting, the allelopathy between plants and plants is similar.
  3. As the plant growth is not robust and the resistance is poor, the incidence of other diseases and pests rises sharply, and the ability to resist natural disasters also decreases.
  4. In addition to the disease caused by nematode elimination itself, some nematodes can also transmit other diseases such as bacterial diseases, viral diseases and fungal diseases. There are many other pathogens in the soil. When the roots are infected with nematodes, they are vulnerable to other pathogens, which aggravates the occurrence of diseases.

The current problem of control nematodes


We know that Most plant feeding nematodes live in the soil and feed on plant roots, thereby reducing the plant’s uptake of water and nutrients, and reducing tolerance to other stresses such as drought. Some transmit other disease causing agents (e.g. viruses) to plants as they feed. When numbers of eelworms get too high in the soil, farmers sometimes apply chemicals called fumigants or nematicides to the soil to control them. However, these chemicals are generally very toxic and hazardous to the health of both humans and the environment. Some nematicides have been banned because they were found to easily leach through the soil and contaminate drinking water in aquifers.
Now Eco-farming is the trend all over the world,we also look for the Green sustainable solution to control nematodes.

Best Guide of Common Plant Disease in Garden

图片
For home gardeners, nothing is more frustrating than seeing their work destroyed by pests and diseases. The disease occurs when environmental conditions are suitable for the growth of pathogens on susceptible hosts. Some pathogens attack a variety of plants, while others attack only specific plants. In addition, some pathogens can attack all parts of the plant, while others attack only selected tissues. Many types of organisms cause plant infections , but the top five types of plant pathogens are fungi, water molds, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. Adverse environmental conditions may also lead to non-infectious diseases of plants, called diseases. Adverse conditions include inappropriate soil pH, nutrient deficiency and toxicity, soil compaction, excessive water content, and herbicide destruction. Plants weakened by adverse conditions may be more vulnerable to pathogens. The following is a brief introduction of several common plant diseases, symptoms and solutions, I hop...

Best Guide- Details to Trimming Cannabis

图片
Trimming is among the most reliable means to adjust and guide the growth of a cannabis plant. If you're seeking to limit the dimension of your plant, promote side branching, delay the onset of flowering, or increase yield, trimming checks all packages. It may feel counterproductive to trim parts of your plant as it expands. However, by pruning ineffective development, you can reroute the plant's energy as well as sources into establishing high-quality flowers. While trimming is sensibly straightforward, it's likewise an ability that comes to be polished and less complicated with the method. These pruning pointers and also tricks should assist in demystifying the procedure. Why do you trim marijuana? Pruning refers to the process whereby tiny, certain sections of the plant are cut to motivate healthy growth. At its most basic level, trimming eliminates development that is harmed, ineffective, or blocking sunshine from reaching budding flowers. Pruning describes the procedure...
