Non-toxic and Cost-Effective Essential Oil-based Nematicide and Soil Delivery System (Nemasys)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2011,
Nematodes or roundworms are one of the most common soil-borne parasites that feed on plant roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds - constituting a major contributor to agricultural crop losses. Yield losses due to the parasitic affects of nematodes vary significantly for different crops, however, it is estimated that over €1 billion/year of crop yield is lost in the EU and the figure is speculat ...
