Re: Would this work for foliar nematodes?


As an experiment, this spring I divided up a Golden Tiara into small divisions (2-3 eyes each, mostly) and soaked the whole kit n kaboodle in Zerotol for incremental periods, from 5 mins. up to 25 mins.

None of the plants showed any signs of stress at all, and continued to grow happily, until such time as I moved and left them behind, weeks later.

As to the effect on nematodes, no clue, as these were not infected plants.

If you wanted to give someone a hosta that MIGHT be infected - you are not

Cut the top ot the hosta off, soak the rest of the plant - (roots etc) in
Zero Tol.

Would the absorption of Zero Tol
1) Kill the hosta
2) Kill the nematodes.

What do you think?
