Nematode Damage | Potatoes | Telone™ by Teleos

This is not how potatoes are supposed to look, but this is reality for potato growers facing high nematode pressure and soil-borne diseases.

Nematodes are a common pest in potato-growing areas, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. They are typically found in coarse-textured, sandy soils. The two most common nematode species are Meloidogyne chitwoodi (Columbia root-knot nematode) and Meloidogyne hapla (northern root-knot nematode).

Above-ground symptoms can range from stunted growth and wilting under moisture stress, accompanied by distinct galls on potato tubers, ultimately affecting marketable yields.

Across the Pacific Northwest, growers are currently preparing their soil for fall planting—and they know a strong season starts belowground.

Pre-plant soil preparation with TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant helps manage plant-parasitic nematodes before the crop ever goes into the ground, creating a zone of protection where healthy roots can establish and thrive.

Stronger root systems help crops use available water and nutrients more efficiently, withstand stress, and maximize marketable yield and crop quality—giving growers greater peace of mind that they’re getting the most from every acre.

Using TELONE™ in combination with chloropicrin also helps suppress many soilborne diseases that affect potatoes, including verticillium, common scab, rhizoctonia, fusarium, pythium, and more!
