Article Synopsis
- Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) are a less-known group of pathogens affecting cool-season grass seed crops in Oregon, and this survey identifies their presence in various grass species.
- The study sampled 37 fields during the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons, revealing significant differences in PPN community composition based on the type of grass host and the time of sampling.
- DNA sequencing techniques uncovered several nematode species, some of which are noted for the first time in association with these grasses, highlighting the need for more research on their impact on grass yield and health.
