Abstract

The role that nematode diseases play in stand persistence and yield reduction of red clover is not well defined. Few, if any, studies have been conducted where the effects of nematodes have been conclusively separated from those of soil borne fungal diseases and other factors causing loss of stands and yields. Hague (1980) abstracted data published by the Society of Nematologists (USA) (Anonymous, 1971) and estimated that on 5.4 million ha of clover leys in the United States, various nematodes cause losses of up to 6% annually equalling a value of $33,000,000. General surveys suggest that several different nematodes are often found associated with red clover. These findings suggest that nematodes may play a significant role in reducing production and contributing to premature stand decline of red clover plantings in various parts of the world. Other than a short review by Leath et al. (1985), no comprehensive treatment of effects of nematodes on red clover is available; consequently a more complete review of the literature will be included here.
