| Abstract/Contents: | "Nematodes in sandy soils of southeastern U.S.A. are a major factor in reducing forage yields and stands of cool season perennial grasses such as orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), and phalaris (Phalaris aquatica L.). Soil treatments with methyl bromide or carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methylcarbamate) nematicide has resulted in 30 to over 300 % increases in forage yields of these perennial grasses and of cool season annual grasses such as rye (Secale cereale L). and annual ryegrasses (Lolium multiflorum Lam.). Root pruning by the nematodes reduces effective rooting depth in terms of water and nutrient absorption capability even during short drought periods. Nematodes identified as important factors on these grasses are stunt (Tylenchorhynchus claytoni Steiner), lance (Hoplolaimus galeatus (Cobb) Thorne), and stubby root (Trichodorus christiei Allen). Breeding for host plant resistance to nematodes will be necessary to improve forage yields and extend geographical range of these grass species." |
