Root-knot nematodes
scouted July 25, 2024
- Scientific Name
- Meloidogyne sp.
- Background
- Soybeans in Beaufort County were scouted and it was observed that 10% of the field was affected by browning and yellowing between the veins, root rot, and wilting in patches around the field.
- 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.
