The elevated soil temperature and constant soil moisture in high tunnels lead to the buildup of root-knot nematodes (RKNs). Growing RKN-resistant tomato cultivars or grafting onto RKN-resistant tomato rootstocks is considered effective in managing RKNs. However, all of the RKN-resistant tomato cultivars or rootstocks carry … Show more
