Nematode Diseases
- Cause: Nematodes are microscopic worms that feed on plant roots, causing significant damage. They live in soil and can be difficult to control once established.
- Examples:
- Root-Knot Nematodes: Cause swollen, knot-like formations on roots, leading to poor water and nutrient absorption in crops like tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers.
- Cyst Nematodes: Affect crops like soybeans and potatoes, resulting in poor plant vigor and yield reduction.
- Symptoms: Root galls, stunted growth, yellowing of leaves, reduced crop yield.
