Garlic-based nematicide shows promise for Yorks root grower >More in © Gary Naylor Photography The control of free-living and root-knot nematodes is a problem for many vegetable growers, particularly as the mainstay nematicide Vydate (oxamyl) was withdrawn from use last December. Despite its loss, a fully registered, granular nematicide formulated from garlic is proving effective in reducing nematode populations on one Yorkshire farm. Left untreated, the soil-borne microscopic pest feeds directly on crop roots, which distorts and disfigures the root known as “fanging”. This can lead to marketable yield losses of 30-40%, as crops fail to meet tight supermarket quality specifications.
