Nematode Workshop 2nd Morning Session Signs and symptoms of damage of nematodes on vegetable and small fruit crops George S. Abawi and Beth K. Gugino Department of Plant Pathology
General field symptoms include Reduced growth Yellowing of foliage (nutrient deficiency-like) Excessive wilting in hot or dry weather Reduced yields Poor quality produce Symptom severity are nematode density dependent.
Accompanying root symptoms include Galls, stubby roots, excessive branching Necrotic lesions and general discoloration Rots Ditylenchus destructor Meloidogyne hapla
Most important nematodes on vegetables in the Northeast Northern root-knotMeloidogyne hapla Root-lesion Pratylenchus penetrans Cyst nematodes Heterodera schachtii Globodera rostochiensis
