[UF crop nematology @UFcropnematodes]

Big difference in canopy and root system size in potato nematicide trial @UF_HAEC. 10 weeks after planting. 2 weeks to vine kill.

Sting nematode is the primary target. Often, later in the year differences even out, so it looks like severe sting nematode pressure.

What happens to all the fresh food we grow as part of @UF research? Much of it is donated to community food banks.

In 2023, @UFIFASWFREC, PSREU, @UF_HAEC, @nfrec_sv, @UFGulfCoastREC, and @UFTropical donated over half a million pounds of potatoes, watermelon, tomatoes, & more.

Traditionally, Florida lettuce 🥬 is grown between October & April in the Everglades Agricultural Area.
