Root-knot nematodes

scouted Aug. 16, 2022

Scientific Name
Meloidogyne sp.
Background
Soybeans in Johnston county, variety AG52XFO, were scouted and sampled.
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.
