Protection Methods

Many control methods recommended for controlling Meloidogyne spp. can also be used to control Aphelenchoides ritzemabosi, see the Meloidogyne spp fact sheet.
 
 
Ditylenchus dipsaci multiplies and survives especially in the stems, which should be promptly removed and destroyed at the end of season. Crop rotations should be chosen carefully so that susceptible crops such as beets are not included in the rotation.
 
 

*In order to give a "universal" character for the proposed protection methods, we have produced a fairly comprehensive inventory of these and have included  the fungicides reported in the various tobacco producing countries. For some diseases, we have even suggested alternative phytosanitary methods. It is obvious that the adaptation of these recommendations varies depending on the country and the pesticide legislation prevailing in the given country.
