What is the purpose of nematicides?

  1. Management of nematodes

  2. Management of pest fish

  3. Management of rodent populations

  4. Alteration of plant growth

The correct answer is: Management of nematodes

Nematicides are pesticides specifically designed for the management of nematodes, which are microscopic worms that can cause damage to plant roots, decrease plant growth, and even transmit diseases to plants. For this reason, nematicides are not suitable for the management of pest fish, rodent populations, or the alteration of plant growth. These options may require different types of pesticides or management strategies. However, nematicides can effectively control nematode populations and promote healthier plant growth.
