  1. Nematode Thresholdsand Damage Levels Howard Ferris and Philip Roberts Nematology Workgroup Meeting March, 2005

  2. Sources of Data • Ferris et al, 1970s and 1980s • Roberts et al, 1980s • Cooke and Thomason, 1970s Some Constraints to Early Adoption • Availability of inexpensive nematicides • Development of resistant varieties in some crops • Publication of thresholds in arcane format

  3. Some of those involved…. • Dan Ball • Larry Duncan • Pete Goodell • Joe Noling • Diane Alston • Sally Schneider • Lance Beem

  4. Thresholds by field plot • South Coast Field Station • USDA Shafter • Tulelake

  5. Thresholds by transect • Imperial and Coachella Valleys • Ventura County • Tulare County

  6. Seinhorst Damage Function • Y=m+(1-m)z(Pi-T) • Y=relative yield • m=minimum yield • Z=regression parameter • Pi=population level • T=tolerance level • Based on preplant population levels – measured or predicted from overwinter survival rates

  7. Case Study on Cotton

  8. Case Study on Cotton Meloidogyne incognita, J2/250 cc soil

  9. Damage Function Parameters for Selected Crops

  10. Thresholds and Expected Yield Loss Meloidogyne incognita, J2/250 cc soil; adjusted for extraction efficiency

  11. Expected Damage Meloidogyne chitwoodi; summer crop potato; Klamath Basin Fall population levels; adjusted for extraction efficiency

  12. Thresholds and Expected Yield Loss Heterodera schachtii, eggs/100g soil Sugarbeets Expected % yield loss at different preplant nematode densities
