Abstract
Hawaii’s diverse and mild climate allows for the cultivation of many crops. Different crops have been introduced and cultivated with each successive wave of immigrants to the islands. Many crop plants experienced an exponential growth in hectares only to face a decline in planted area as competition and economic factors drive production elsewhere. The introduction of each crop brought along associated nematode pests. These plant parasitic nematodes became established and are now endemic to the islands.
