Nematode Nightmare Part 2

Nematode Nightmare exposes the truth behind foliar nematodes. As a hosta business owner, Tom Carlson has seen, researched, and treated foliar nematodes in all kinds of hostas. Tom gives a tour of a garden infected with foliar nematodes. The damage done by the nematodes can be seen on camera as brown streaks between the veins in the leaves. This second half gives close ups of some infected hostas as well as common treatments to eliminate nematodes. For more nematode information check out: www.hostasdirect.com and look under hosta info and click 'pests & diseases'.

It works for me all my plants and veggies are Very large and healthy. and my soil is alive like it is supposed to be. No disrespect but cooking your plants....thats a little dumb don't ya think ?

From an agricultural perspective, there are two categories of nematode: predatory ones, which will kill garden pests like cutworms, and pest nematodes, like the root-knot nematode, which attack plants and those that act as vectors spreading plant viruses between crop plants.

Predatory nematodes can be bred by soaking a specific recipe of leaves and other detritus in water, in a dark, cool place, and can even be purchased as an organic form of pest control.

Depending on the species, a nematode may be beneficial or detrimental to plant health.
