| Abstract/Contents: | Presents research conducted to determine weather the response of nematodes to turfgrasses is modified by the presence of Acremonium endophytes and to evaluate weather the speciation and populations dynamics of parasitic nematodes are modified in the root zones of the turfgrass hosts. Soil samples were from root zones at the Adelphia field station (1987-88) from endophyte-infected (EI) and endophyte-free (EF) grasses with the species being Chewings fescue, hard fescue, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue; all established in field plots during 1985 or earlier. Infection level and endophyte statues were determined by turf plugs transplanted to a greenhouse. A table relates the number of nematodes associated with EI and EF turfgrass grown under maintenance with the conclusion being that there was no statistical relations between the number of individual nematodes and the presence of EI in any of the four grasses sampled. Results indicated that the endophyte-related toxins were either not translocated to the roots, were present in too low a concentration to have any effect on nematodes, or the nematodes were able to metabolize the toxins into non-toxic chemicals. Speciation and population dynamics soil samples were taken from plots of tall fescue, bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, Kentucky bluegrass, fine fescues, bentgrass, perennial ryegrass, and blue fescues. |
