Historical • 1859 – First report of a cyst nematode from Germany, as causal organism of “Rubenmuditkeit” (Beet tiredness) • 1871 – Schmidt named it Heterodera schachtii • Other forms of cyst nematodes discovered on pea, potato, cereals - mostly in Germany • 1940 – Franklin separated five species • H. schachtii, H. goettingiana, H. rostochiensis, H. major, H. punctata • Round cysts transferred to Globodera Walia CCSHAU
Diagnosis Heterodera • Mature female and Cyst • Lemon-shaped with short neck and terminal cone (vulval cone), turning into a hard wall, brown or black in colour, vulva terminal, anus dorsally sub-terminal, vulval fenestration present, ambifenestrate or bifenestrate, underbridge and bullae often present, most eggs retained inside the body, some may be laid in gelatinous matrix • Male • About 1 mm, vermiform, stylet and oesophagus well-developed, tail end twisted, without bursa, spicules robust, gubernaculum simple. • Second-stage juvenile • Body slender, about 400-500 µm long, cephalic sclerotisation and stylet robust than in root-knot nematode, oesophageal glands overlap intestine ventrally, tail with a prominent hyaline portion Walia CCSHAU

Diagnosis Globodera • Mature female and Cyst • Spherical with a short neck, terminal portion not forming a cone, vulva terminal, vulval fenestra circumfenestrate, underbridge, bullae rarely present, anus dorsally sub-terminal, no anal fenestra. • Male and Second-stage juveniles • As in Heterodera Walia CCSHAU
Systematic Position • Phylum Nematoda • Class Secernentea • Order Tylenchida • Suborder Tylenchina • Superfamily Tylenchoidea • Family Heteroderidae • Subfamily Heteroderinae • Genera Heterodera, Globodera Walia CCSHAU
Biology • Sedentary endoparasite • Cyst containing eggs remain in soil during off-season • Mostly hatching occurs in response to host root exudates • Infective stage – Second-stage juvenile • Prefer meristematic zone for penetration • Establish special feeding areas (Syncytia) in vascular tissues • Further grow to adults, body changes from vermiform to lemon-shaped gradually, posterior part emerges out of root • Adult males become vermiform, are coiled inside J4 cuticle, and finally come out into soil after rupturing cuticle. • Females lay eggs inside their body, turn brown (cyst) and fall into the soil Walia CCSHAU
Life cycle • Major differences from • Root-knot nematode • No spike tailed stages • Stylet present in J3 and J4 • Posterior portions of J4 and females protrude out of roots • Reproduction usually sexual • Egg laying inside the body of female • Female forms cyst after egg laying Walia CCSHAU
Development • No spike-tailed stages • Stylet present in J3, J4 Walia CCSHAU

Histopathology • J2 become sedentary after penetration, head located near vascular tissues • Enzymatic secretions lead to the formation of syncytia • Syncytium involves xylem, phloem, pericycle, endodermis • Partial cell wall dissolution takes place to result in a big multicellular cytoplasmic mass (syncytium) Walia CCSHAU

Cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera avenae • First report from Germany by Kuhn in 1874 • Nomenclature changed from Heterodera schachtii – H. schachtii subsp. major – H. major – H. avenae (Wollenweber, 1924) • First report from India by Vasudeva in 1958 from Rajasthan Walia CCSHAU
Cereal Cyst Nematode - CCN • Distribution • Europe, Australia, Russian states, India, Pakistan • India • Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh • Hosts • Wheat, Barley (Molya disease) • Oats Walia CCSHAU
CCN - Biology • Lemon-shaped cyst, each containing ca. 400 eggs formed during march/April, remain dormant in soil till November/December • Hatching coincides with wheat sowing (Nov/Dec) at 16-18 C • Root exudates do not play any role in hatching • Only 50% eggs hatch in first year • White females can be seen on roots during Jan/Feb Walia CCSHAU
CCN - Symptoms • Stunted growth in patches • Chlorosis when crop is 1-2 months old • Reduced tillering • Culms become thinner and weaker • Earheads fewer and bear fewer grains • Roots become bushy, having swellings at the sites of penetration • White glistening females appear during Jan/Feb on the swellings Walia CCSHAU
CCN – Above-ground Symptoms Walia CCSHAU
CCN – Below-ground Symptoms Walia CCSHAU
CCN – Crop losses • In Rajasthan • 8.2 to 28.8% yield loss • Rs 40 million in wheat • Rs 30 millions in barley • In Haryana • 8.9 to 95.3% increase in yield with chemical treatments • Disease more severe in light soils • 45–48% losses when Pi = 6 eggs per g soil Walia CCSHAU
CCN - Management • Cultural practices • Crop rotation with mustard, chickpea, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, carrots for 1-2 years • One year rotation – 80% increase in wheat yield • Two year rotation - 135% increase in wheat yield • Two – three deep summer ploughings • Early sowing of wheat by a fortnight Walia CCSHAU
