Effect of Sanbio VITAL on recovery of root-knot nematode infested cucumber (Sima Agro Est., Jordan)

Amman, Jordan (December 15, 2018) – Root-knot nematodes, RKNs (Meloidogyne species and races) are widely distributed throughout the irrigated agricultural areas in Jordan.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ferti-activator Sanbio VITAL on treatment of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) and recovery performance of cucumber plants.

Two applications were made with a time interval of 14 days. Each application was made with a product rate of 10 Liter Sanbio VITAL diluted in 500 liters of water per hectare onto ground.
