Technologies enhance control of nematodes in the field

The advancement of soil management practices has been driving new technological combinations in coffee cultivation, especially in areas seeking to improve plant health and vigor. The integration of products with different modes of action is beginning to gain traction as an alternative to enhance the control of agents that affect root development and would compromise the performance of crops over the cycles.
