Abstract
71 words
This study was conducted in Mwea, central Kenya with the
aim of developing a soil-characteristic-based site specific
technology for identification of root-knot nematode (RKN)
Meloidogyne spp. infested soils. This involved analysis of
edaphic factors to determine the RKN distribution patterns in
this major tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.) production area.
Results revealed that the RKN distribution pattern was highly
correlated with the soil pH and electrical conductivity, making
site specific farming possible.
