The Florida Region recently hosted two USGA Green Section interns: Mrs. Norma Flor and Mr. Brad Shaver. Both are Ph.D. candidates studying turfgrass science. Norma is researching patch disease ...

When observing unexplained stunting, wilting, or death in crops. When planting into a field with a history of nematodes. In areas with prior poor performance. In fall when nematode populations should ...

Right after soybean harvest is the time to test fields for soybean cyst nematode, the No. 1 pathogen of soybean in the United States. Sampling in soybean stubble in 2022 can help with 2023 planting ...

The soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) is the most significant nematode pest affecting soybeans on Delmarva and in the United States. First detected in Delaware in the fall of 1979, the ...

October is known as soybean cyst nematode action month because this is the best time to get out and soil sample for SCN. The end of a soybean season is when SCN levels will be at their highest in the ...

The laborious process of testing potato land for signs of potato cyst nematode (PCN) is now over for one Suffolk-based firm after the invention of its clever new soil-sampling machine. Investigating ...

Soybean cyst nematode is still a pest in many of Minnesota’s soybean fields. Light infestations of SCN in fields will have no above-ground symptoms, which is part of the challenge, but yields will be ...

Continuous cropping changes soil physiochemical parameters, enzymes and microorganism communities, causing “replant problem” in strawberry cultivation. We hypothesized that soil nematode community ...

Potato growers will have to think carefully about how they define a “field” for sampling under the new potato cyst nematode directive, the Potato Council’s Mike Storey said during a seminar at British ...

Corn nematodes may be the most neglected pest in your fields—and they could be capping your yields. “Very few farmers tell me they have a corn nematode problem,” says Farm Journal Associate Field ...

Little is known about how nematode ecology differs across elevational gradients. We investigated the soil nematode community along a ~2,200 m elevational range on Mt. Norikura, Japan, by sequencing ...
