Management
Management of R. similis consist in reduce nematode populations in the soil before planting, for example using soil fumigation, removing host and doing rotation with non-host crops and also planting cover crops such as Crotalaria or Tagetes. Furthermore, before planting pared the rhizomes in order to remove dark spots (infections), then soak them in hot water (125ºF) for 20 minutes. Although those practices can reduce nematodes population, plants from tissue culture raised in a disease-free nursery are the best option .

“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
