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.
