Root-knot nematodes
scouted Aug. 14, 2024
- Scientific Name
- Meloidogyne sp.
- Background
- Soybeans in Perquimans County were scouted and it was observed that 15% of the field was affected.
- 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.
