NEMATODE MONDAY: Sunn hemp is used for fiber production and as a green manure. It suppresses weeds, soil erosion & nematode populations, mostly sedentary endoparasites like root-knot nematodes. It is a poor host, but also produces toxic compounds against several nematode species #Nematode #Hemp 🧪

A beautiful Bursaphelenchus xylophilus trying to escape from a droplet! Cool, isn’t it?

NEMATODE MONDAY: I enjoyed discussing Criconemella xenoplax (ring nematode) and Meloidogyne incognita (Southern root knot nematode) associated disorders of peaches at the annual Alabama Peach Production Meeting last week 🧪

NEMATODE MONDAY: Some nice galling from southern Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) on Cucurbit. It’s host range is estimated at over 3,000 plant species. It causes large irregular shaped galls or swellings on infected roots disrupting root function #Nematode #PlantPathology #PlantParasite 🧪
