Common crops affected
Why it matters
Reniform nematode attacks many vegetables through the root system, reducing vigour and yield without obvious above-ground symptoms.
When it appears
At planting/transplanting, guided by a soil assay where vegetable ground has nematode history.
How to identify it
- No distinctive above-ground galls (unlike root-knot) — symptoms are easy to miss.
- Patchy, stunted, uneven stands and reduced vigour, often worse in lighter or sandy-loam soils.
- Wilting under heat/drought despite adequate moisture; nutrient-deficiency-like symptoms.
How to manage it
- Apply Nematode Control at planting in-furrow or through drip;
- support establishment with Charge BioBoost.
- Monitor early, treat at the right window above, and use cultural measures (sanitation, airflow/drainage or resistance/rotation as relevant).
