The root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans (Cobb 1917).
Filipjev and Shuurmans Stekhoven, 1941, is widely distributed throughout
Oregon and other temperate zones of the world. Economically
it is probably the most important plant parasitic nematode in Oregon
because of its abundance, wide host range of economic plants and
interactions with other...

Fluctuations in population density of Pratylenchus sp.,
Trichodorus sp., and Xiphinema americanum s. 1. in three blueberry
fields were determined monthly for one year. Pratylenchus densities
were greatest in August and least in October. Three distinct
periods of population growth occurred; during January, April, and
between June and August. Trichodorus...
Nematodes are roundworms with complex organ systems. They occur worldwide in all environments. Most species benefit agriculture by contributing to decomposition of organic matter and are important members of the food chain. Some species are parasitic to plants or animals. More than 2,000 of the 20,000
identified nematode species are...
The efficiencies of wet sieving/sucrose
centrifugation (WS/SC) recovery of Pratylenchus penetrans
(59 %), Paratylenchus sp., (80 %), and Criconemella
xenoplax (66 %) were established. Baermann funnels (BF)
recovered significantly more P. penetrans (p = 0.01) and
significantly less (p = 0.01) C. xenoplax than did WS/SC.
While densities of P....
The effects of fenamiphos on soil and root populations of Pratylenchus penetrans were evaluated in four red raspberry cv. Willamette fields in Northwestern Oregon. Field 1 was a silty clay loam with 53% organic matter (OM). Field 2 and 3 were silty loam soils with 3.25 and 2.55% OM, respectively...
Nematodes are tiny but complex unsegmented roundworms that are anatomically differentiated for feeding, digestion, locomotion, and reproduction. These small animals make important contributions to organic matter decomposition and to the food chain. Some species, however, are parasitic to plants or animals. This publication provides a description and information on biology,...
