Abstract
Simulation modelling of the effects of cyst nematodes on potato crop growth is still in its infancy. The first attempts to simulate nematode population dynamics together with host growth were done in the 1970s. For many years the models focussed on the rate of growth of the nematode population, while using oversimplified, descriptive functions for host growth and its response to nematodes. Further development was hampered by lack of information on the physiological damage mechanisms involved.
However, recent years have witnessed the development of sophisticated combination models that treat both pest and host in a more realistic manner. It is becoming increasingly clear that cyst nematodes affect both the carbon and nutrient metabolism of their host. Possible ways to incorporate the various damage mechanisms into simulation models are discussed.
