NRKN ?

[AlittleSalt]

I have been researching more about Root Knot Nematodes. As many of you know, I'm having to deal with them here in our Texas soil. I have lost count on how many sites I've read. Most of the sites are from places like Texas and especially Florida. So I thought RKN is just a southern states problem for the most part. Until this morning.

I was looking up info about RKN and onions. The second site on the search is this one: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.corne...otNematode.htm

I had no idea that folks up in New York have RKN problems too. What really caught my attention was this on the above site "it is able to survive the extreme low temperatures during winter." It meaning NRKN.

Well that that messes up my hopes of the RKN not being able to withstand severe cold temperatures. We do have cold winters every once in a while in this part of north central Texas. Single digit lows are far from being unheard of here.
