Free nematode testing
Producers are encouraged to bring soil samples to the event to be tested for nematodes. The following are instructions for doing so:
- Collect at least 20 soil cores from each field in areas showing symptoms (about 2 pints total)
- Sample soil from a depth of 6 to 8 inches
- Take cores randomly across the affected area
- Mix the soil thoroughly, then place it in a plastic bag and seal it to prevent it from drying
- Refrigerate samples until the field day.
