Root-knot nematodes on landscape trees
Conference Proceedings (Chapter)
"Many landscape trees are susceptible to infestation by common and widespread root-knot nematodes. A few nematodes with restricted host specificity have been found on several tree species and it is likely that more will be found in the future. The direct effects of nematodes on tree growth may not be readily apparent but the synergism between nematodes and fungi such as Fusarium and Verticillium can result in the death of trees considered resistant or tolerant to the pathogens. Arborists, horticulturists, and nurserymen should consider at least a cursory examination of root systems when investigating the causes of poor plant performance." [Abstract]
