Hello all,
I have a native ficus in a pot that gets repotted every year. Being a junior bonsai candidate, its root system is aesthetically important.
This plant (only 1 im about 300) is suffering from nematode infestation. Nodal lumps on the roots.
I bare rooted the plant and put in in very fertile mulch/pot mix last year and still I get the lumps. I read messages about, mustards, marigolds, soil health et cetera but unfortunately these are not really suitable in this instance.
Can anyone advise as to what systemic treatment / drench may work.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated

| Nemacur will work if it is still around. Granules applied to the soil surface. |

Nemacur is very effective, but also toxic. If you can find some, try Neem as a meal added to the soil or as a liquid drench.
