Abstract/Contents: | "The capacity of 18 turfgrasses to repress the multiplication of root-lesion nematode, Pratylenchus penetrans Cobb, was tested in a growth room. Populations varied from 230 nematodes per pot on Agrostis alba L. to 1800 per pot on Poa trivialis L. Selected grass species and cultivars were tested as cover crops in established peach, plum, and apple orchards at Vineland from 1975 to 1980. Average population levels of the root-lesion nematode and the pin nematode, Paratylenchus projectus Jenkins, did not build up substantially during this period. Tall fescue, F. arundinacea (Schreb.), had the lowest average nematode population levels as a grass cover. Tall fescue and creeping red fescue, F. rubra L., were more effective in suppressing nematodes than Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis L., and orchardgrass, Dactylis glomerata L." |
