- Intervention effect Higher potassium increased fresh weight of excised tomato roots.
- Intervention effect Nitrate fertilized tomato plants weighed more than ammonium fed plants at all potassium levels.
- Intervention effect Nutritional differences did not affect nematode counts on intact or excised tomato roots.
- Association Intact tomato roots had a high percentage of male nematodes at low potassium.
- Association Male nematode proportion on excised tomato roots rose as potassium levels increased.
- Intervention effect Inoculated intact tomato roots accumulated potassium when its supply was low.
- Intervention effect Infected excised tomato roots contained less potassium than nematode free roots.
