Root knot nematodes
scouted Sept. 6, 2024
- Scientific Name
- Meloidogyne sp.
- Background
- Soybeans in Pasquotank County were scouted, and it was observed that 4% of the field was negatively affected. A sample was submitted to the PDIC for diagnosis
- 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, and a hindrance to water and nutrient uptake.
