Abstract/Contents: | Explains that "nematodes are one of the few turf pathogens that can be managed using an integrated pest management [IPM] strategy." States that "when the population of nematodes reaches a high level, it may cross a disease threshold, and symptoms might be observed." Discusses Dr. Robert Wick's research at the University of Massachusetts, which involves the population dynamics of plant parasitic nematodes on putting greens. Details a project examining factors that "can contribute to high nematode populations on golf course putting greens." Reports findings from the project, which took place during 2003 and 2004. Concludes that "the ability to predict when and where nematode populations will become a problem can allow superintendents to deal with the problem proactively through renovation, cultural practices, overseeding and communication with their greens committee." |
