Fumigation Using 1,3-Dichloropropene Manages in Sweetpotato More Effectively than Fluorinated Nematicides.

is an emerging global threat and is damaging to sweetpotato () production in the southeast United States. Nematicide application is one of the few management strategies currently available against this nematode, and field testing is urgently needed. The objective of this study was to assess common nematicides for management of and nontarget effects on free-living nematodes in sweetpotato field production.

Management of Reniform Nematode in Cotton Using Winter Crop Residue Amendments Under Greenhouse Conditions.

(reniform nematode, RN) is among the most important nematodes affecting cotton. Cultural practices, such as rotation and soil amendment, are established methods for managing RN. Management may be enhanced if crop residue has biofumigant properties against RN.

Reniform Nematode Management Using Winter Crop Rotation and Residue Incorporation Methods in Greenhouse Experiments.

(reniform nematode, RN) is an important pathogen in cotton production. Cultural practices such as crop rotation and biofumigation-management of soil pathogens by biocidal compounds from crop residues-may help manage RN. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of winter crops for RN management through combinations of rotation and crop residue incorporation in a cotton greenhouse experiment.

18S-NemaBase: Curated 18S rRNA Database of Nematode Sequences.

Nematodes are the most abundant and diverse animals on the planet but lack representation in biodiversity research. This presents a problem for studying nematode diversity, particularly when molecular tools (i.e.

Host Status and Pathogenicity on Sweetpotato.

Sting nematode is acutely damaging to a wide range of crops and is relatively common in sandy soils in the southeastern United States. Sweetpotato is an important crop in this region, and its production may be expanding to localities where sting nematode is an important pest. Despite this, the relationship between sweetpotato and sting nematode is not well-defined.

management by nematicides in tomato production.

(southern root-knot nematode, SRKN) is a major pest in tomato () production in the Southeastern United States. Management has relied on fumigant and carbamate non-fumigant nematicides. New non-fumigant nematicides, such as fluopyram, are available and field evaluation of new nematicides is needed.
