- Use plant material certified free of nematodes to avoid the introduction of the pathogen in new plantations.
- Carry out crop rotations with non-host species to reduce nematode populations in the soil.
- Apply organic matter and amendments such as compost and biofumigants to improve soil structure and reduce nematological activity.
- Promote the presence of beneficial microorganisms such as fungi and antagonistic bacteria that limit the proliferation of nematodes.
- Implement soil solarization practices in times of high temperatures to reduce populations by warming the substrate.
- Apply biological or chemical nematicides depending on the level of infestation and following technical recommendations to minimize the environmental impact.
- Avoid the movement of contaminated soil and disinfect tools used in affected areas to reduce dispersion.
- Maintain constant monitoring through soil analysis to detect the presence of nematodes before they cause severe damage.
