Nematodes are microscopic worms found in soil. While many are harmless, some attack plant roots—causing stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and wilting, especially in warm weather.
Common Signs
-
Poor plant growth despite
watering - Yellow or wilting leaves
- Knobbly or damaged roots
- Patchy, struggling lawns or crops
How to Control Nematodes Naturally
- Rotate Crops: Avoid planting the same type of plant in the same spot each season
- Add Organic Matter: Compost and mulch improve soil health and attract beneficial organisms
- Plant Marigolds or Mustard: These naturally help suppress harmful nematodes
- Soil Solarisation: Use clear plastic to heat-treat infested areas in summer
- Keep Tools Clean: Prevent the spread by disinfecting garden tools
