Nematodes

From: Kiehlmann at gmx.de on 2006.03.28 at 09:27:12(13995) Hallo all, some of my Amorphophallus-tubers are infected by nematodes. I know that I shall treat them with Temik. But I have no idea how to dose Temik. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

In the form I am familiar with it was a pesticide which is carried on a seed grain and the grain carrier is applied to the surface of soil and watered in so it can leach out into the soil and then into the plant roots. I haven't used it in 30 years. The rule of thumb here is that you must follow the label directions. I would think the only way to apply it to amorphophallus tubers would be to wait until the plants are in strong rapid growth with a good root system and then dose the soil with an appropriate amount. It should be absorbed into the roots and tuber thus killing any nematodes and any thing else in the soil.

If you can get it, the package will suggest the dose and you should follow directions very closely, taking every possible precaution while you are applying it, including whatever it takes to keep it out of the groundwater. +More I may be overcautious, but I would hesitate to use it in my own garden. Of course, I also don't have an alternative for you ...

From: "?goston J?nos" agoston.janos at citromail.hu> on 2006.03.31 at 12:46:24(14044) Dear Margaret, I had some nematodes here in Hungary some years ago, but I didn't know how to kill them. So I get the plants out od the soil, cut out the infected parts with some healthy looked parts, cause we learened at the Uni that they are eating and living on the border of the healthy and rottened part. Then I dryed them off. The ones in the growing season could be immersed in bleachy water. 1%, but it is just recommended to cheap plants. The expensive and sensible ones can be damaged or killed! +More ----- Original Message ----- From: Kiehlmann@gmx.de To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 11:27 AM Subject: [Aroid-l] Nematodes Hallo all,some of my Amorphophallus-tubers are infected by nematodes.I know that I shall treat them with Temik.
