A crop that, after in-depth studies and experiments by Wageningen University, has emerged as a promising nematode control for potato cyst nematodes! The deep-rooting crop secretes a substance that attracts the nematodes. These then cannot reproduce and die. Pre-sowing yields the highest return. For more information, please see the attached PDF on this site.
Sowing quantity 100g for 300 m².
The edible fruits are called Litchi Tomato, see 188000.
To avoid depleting your valuable soil, it is wise to let the land lie fallow occasionally. During such a period, green manure is ideal: it provides nutrients to the soil through often present nitrogen fixation; it suppresses weed growth, promotes bacterial life, supplies humus, and in some cases works against harmful nematodes.
