Sự kiện: ECHO International Agriculture Conference 2018 (15-11-2018)
This session aims at discussing simple and yet effective agronomic practices for most vegetable crops that discourage the buildup of plant - parasitic nematodes and other soil borne pathogens in the soil. These agronomic practices range from timely watering or irrigation of crops, use of resistant or tolerant varieties, crop rotation, tillage practices, mulching, use of organic amendments, proper and timely methods of harvesting.
