Root-knot nematodes
scouted July 14, 2023
- Scientific Name
- Meloidogyne sp.
- Background
- Soybean in Sampson county were scouted and it was observed that 2% of field was affected by stunted growth in patches around the field. There are patches of stunted growth in each field. There did not appear to be standing water in these areas.
- Conclusion
- Root knot nematodes were identified as part of the issue. High population levels of root knot nematodes present symptoms of non-uniform stunting, wilting, and chlorotic patches, as well as an increased likelihood of disease complex with other soilborne pathogens, as well as a hindrance to water and nutrient uptake.
