| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses testing for nematodes in soil, stating that "nematode assay is the most effective tool for management of these pests." Lists plant-parasitic nematode types found in turfgrasses, including ring, sting, root knot, cyst, stunt, sheath, dagger, and spiral. States that "North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) assays can be either predictive or diagnostic...judicious use of predictive assays has the potential to head off nematode problems and minimize costly remedial measures." Also states that predictive assays can help "map out and monitor nematode populations in established turf." States that "sampling for monitoring purposes requires some forethought and planning...establish a baseline, be nematode savvy, [and] know when and where to treat." States that "accurate nematode assay results depend on quality samples." Advises readers to "use boxes, bags and information sheets designed specifically for nematode assays...[and] collect samples only when the soil is in good working condition." Concludes that "NCDA&CS nematode assay reports list the types of nematodes extracted from the sample, an estimate of population levels, an assessment of potential hazard and management advice." |
