Plant Parasitic Nematodes Explained - Penn State Extension
2023年3月31日 · Nematodes that feed on plant parts are called plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) and are ubiquitous in agricultural soils. The life cycle of a nematode includes eggs, juveniles and adults, and they can overwinter at any of these stages.
Plant disease - Nematodes, Parasitic, Control | Britannica
Leaf, or foliar, nematodes (Aphelenchoides species) and bulb and stem nematodes (Ditylenchus dipsaci) cause severe losses in vegetable and ornamental bulb crops, clovers, alfalfa, strawberry, sweet potato, orchids, chrysanthemums, begonias, and ferns.
Nematodes: Symptoms, Injury to Plants, Characteristics and …
The role of certain nematodes as vectors of plant viruses has been studied in recent years and there is an increasing awareness that they may also be involved in the transport and inoculation of other pathogens, notably bacteria and fungi attacking roots or other plant organs in the soil.
A quick look at plant disease caused by nematodes
2012年12月14日 · Most nematodes are microscopic, free-living and feed on bacteria, fungi, protozoans and other nematodes, but about 15 percent of the known nematode species are parasites of plants. Bacterial-feeding nematodes play a crucial role in cycling plant nutrients in soil and are highly beneficial.
Nematodes – Gardening Solutions
Most nematodes are beneficial to plants because they feed on bacteria, fungi, and other microscopic organisms, but some feed directly on live plants. These plant-parasitic nematodes can damage a plant’s root system, hindering its ability to gain nutrients and water from the soil.

Plant parasitic nematodes may attack the roots, stem, foliage and flowers of plants. All plant parasitic nematodes have piercing mouthparts called stylets. The presence of a stylet is the key diagnostic sign differentiating plant parasitic nematodes from all other types of nematodes.
Plant pathology is the study of plant disease including the reasons why plants get sick and how to control or manage healthy plants. A number of genera and species of nematodes are highly damaging to a great range of hosts, including foli-age plants, agronomic and vegetable crops, fruit and nut trees, turfgrass, and forest trees.
Plant nematodes are tiny worms usually 0.25 mm to 3 mm long ( 1 / 100 " to 1 / 8 ") and cylindrical, tapering toward the head and tail. Females of a few species lose their worm shape as they mature, becoming pear-, lemon- or kidney- shaped.
Plant Parasitic Nematodes : USDA ARS
Several plant-parasitic nematodes have been associated with wheat and barley and the most economically important ones are: cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera avenae, the seed gall or ear-cockle nematode, Anguina tritici, root-knot and the lesion nematodes.
Nematodes are microscopic, worm-like, animals with life cycles that include one egg stage, four juvenile stages and one adult stage. Nematodes overwinter using a number of strategies: in the egg phase, within the dead female body, or in plant material. As the weather warms in the spring, the nematodes become active and begin feeding.
