What vegetables are not affected by nematodes?

Several plants such as broccoli, beet, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, corn, English peas, garlic, mustard, onion, and potato are less susceptible to injury from root-knot nematode primarily because they are grown during cool weather when this nematode is not as active.

How do you treat root knot nematodes?

If you cannot plant nematode-resistant strains, practice good crop rotation. Some species of root knot nematodes are more selective than others. Planting cover crops like marigolds or sudangrass between at-risk crops will also bring down the nematode population. Remove the roots of old plants when clearing the bed.

How do I get rid of nematodes naturally?

To kill nematodes in soil, heat small quantities of moist soil to 140°F in the oven or by solarization. Heating soil in the oven over a time period needed to bake a medium-sized potato placed in the center of the soil is sufficient to kill nematodes; however, this is only practical for small quantities of soil.

Does sugar kill nematodes?

Since sugar kills nematodes by drying them out, try boiling 1/2 cup of sugar in 2 cups of water until the sugar dissolves. Dilute the mixture with a gallon of water and spray around affected plants. Currently, home gardeners have no access to chemical soil fumigants to thoroughly eradicate the problem.

Can you eat carrots with nematodes?
