Recommended technique: Collect soil samples and have them tested for the presence of SCN.
Place the root samples in separate 100 or 150 ml glass beakers. Prepare 600 ml of a water-bleach solution by adding 100 ml household bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite or NaClO) to 500 ml distilled water.
To prepare the disinfestant solution of 0.5% chlorhexidine diacetate (Hibitane), dissolve 0.5 g into 100 ml sterile distilled water, or dissolve 2.5 g into 500 ml sterile distilled water
To disinfest the eggs:
Construct microsieves from 18-mm and 20-mm test tube caps and 25 micrometer pore nylon mesh.
UV-sterilize all microsieves and hatch trays.
