Abstract/Contents: | Discusses nematodes, stating that they "are a diverse group of non-segmented round worms that exist both aquatically and terrestrially with varied sources of food." Profiles several types of nematodes, including stunt, spiral, lance, and ring. Presents a study conducted "to determine the pathogenicity of the lance nematode" to bentgrass greens. Explains that "a nematode damage threshold is the number of nematodes per 100 cc [cubic centimeters] soil above which plant health is reduced due to root reduction or dysfunction." Details the methods and materials used in the study, stating that "on an area of A-4 creeping bentgrass, microplots were established to allow introduction of controlled levels of lance nematodes...Each microplot began as a pasteurized rootzone which was inoculated with...varying amounts of water containing extracted lance nematodes." Reports that "the level required to reduced visual quality below an acceptable level...varied monthly, and so a single damage threshold did not exist. Instead a range of 200 to 1,000 lance nematodes per 100 cc was found capable of causing unacceptable quality of bentgrass during June to September in two years." |
