In turfgrass systems, nematicides are a valuable tool for managing plant-parasitic nematode populations, but few studies have examined nematicide effects on non-target nematodes. The study evaluated effects of turfgrass nematicide formulations of abamectin (Divanem SC), fluopyram (Indemnify), furfural (MultiGuard Protect EC), and fluensulfone (Nimitz Pro G) on non-target nematode populations in bermudagrass ( spp.). Nematicides were applied at labeled rates every four weeks as a summer treatment program from June 7, 2016 to August 30, 2016 and April 24, 2017 to July 18, 2017. Samples were collected before the initial treatment and 2 d, 14 d, 56 d, and 238 d after the final treatment in both years for nematode community analysis. Data from each nematicide treatment were compared to the untreated at each sample date using analysis of covariance with initial population counts serving as the covariate. Abamectin had moderate impact and fluopyram had substantial impact on the non-target nematodes. Furfural and fluensulfone had minimal impact on non-target nematodes. The results of this study suggest nematicides can impact non-target nematode densities in bermudagrass.

The large pine weevil ( L.) is a major pest in European and Asian coniferous forests, particularly in managed plantations where clear-felling practices create ideal conditions for its population growth. Traditional management practices involving synthetic insecticides have limited efficacy in terms of reducing pest populations and pose environmental risks.

Anthelmintic resistance (AR) in parasitic nematodes poses a global health problem in livestock and domestic animals and is an emerging problem in humans. Consequently, we must understand the mechanisms of AR, including target-site resistance (TSR), in which mutations affect drug binding, and non-target site resistance (NTSR), which involves alterations in drug metabolism and detoxification processes. Because much of the focus has been on TSR, NTSR has received less attention.

Fosthiazate is a widely used organophosphorus nematicide that resides in the soil and controls soil root-knot nematodes. However, whether it has toxic effects on non-target soil organisms such as earthworms is unclear. Therefore, in this study, a 28-day experiment of fosthiazate exposure was conducted using the Eisenia fetida as the model organism.

Article Synopsis
  • - The stubby root nematode is a significant plant pest that not only damages roots but also spreads a disease in potatoes, necessitating swift detection for better management.
  • - This study aimed to create a real-time recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay for detecting nematode DNA directly from soil samples using a portable device, achieving high sensitivity and specificity.
  • - The developed RPA assay proved to be rapid, with detection times as short as 7 minutes, and successfully identified nematodes in 15 tested field soil samples, marking a breakthrough in soil DNA detection methods.

Fosthiazate (FOS) is a widely used organophosphorus insecticide effective against soil root-knot nematodes. However, its ecotoxicity to non-target soil organisms, particularly in combination with microplastics (MPs), is unclear. This study explores the toxic-effects and molecular mechanisms of co-exposure to FOS and MPs on earthworms (Eisenia fetida) using multilevel toxicity endpoints and transcriptomics.
