- Intervention effect Fenamiphos-treated tomato roots were less affected by M fallax than untreated controls, without a significant gall-index difference.
- Intervention effect Treatments significantly increased shoot height.
- Intervention effect Other plant parameters increased under treatment, without reported significance.
- Intervention effect Seaweed-treated roots were denser and paler than untreated and fenamiphos-treated roots.
- Observation The experiment did not find compelling evidence of high seaweed-extract efficacy against tomato nematodes.
