Questions, answered.
How do I control plant nematodes organically in the UAE?
Turbo is a natural herbal product used to control plant nematode infection. It has been applied in private farms and agricultural experiment stations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Palestine and Pakistan. Nematode-damaged roots also cause deficiency symptoms, so after treatment rebuild the soil with Saprosoil.
