Tomato plants are susceptible to significant yield losses when infested by the northern root-knot nematode, While there are many options for conventional chemical management, few of these options offer effective control for organic growers or those who seek to adopt more environmentally considerate strategies. In this study, we showed that a new, biologically based product (referred to as "MN21.2") has potential for controlling populations of the northern root-knot nematode, , as a pest of susceptible tomato (cv. Rutgers) in a greenhouse trial. This is significant because if this product's efficacy is supported under field conditions, it may provide organic tomato growers with a valuable tool for fighting the plant-parasitic nematode pest,
番茄植株受到北方根结线虫侵染时容易出现大幅减产。虽然传统化学防治有多种选择，但这些选择中很少有能为有机种植者或那些寻求采用更环保策略的人提供有效防治的。在本研究中，我们表明一种新型的、基于生物的产品（称为“MN21.2”）在温室试验中作为易感番茄（罗格斯品种）的害虫北方根结线虫的防治方面具有潜力。这很重要，因为如果该产品在田间条件下的效果得到证实，它可能为有机番茄种植者提供一种对抗植物寄生线虫害虫的宝贵工具。
