Pest aspects of potato production

Part 1 Nematode pests of potatoes

  • Chapter
The Potato Crop

Abstract

Plant-parasitic nematodes are small (0.2–10 mm long) worm-like animals, able to move between soil particles, between folded leaves of plant buds, in the air spaces of leaves and stems or in plant tissues themselves. Their movement and activity in soil is influenced by the thickness of the water films surrounding soil particles and they are inactive in dry soils. Agricultural soils usually contain many species of plant-parasitic nematodes, as well as predatory and microphagous types, and the species composition is affected by many factors including climate, soil type and cropping patterns. Species parasitic on plants all possess a mouth stylet which they use to puncture plant cells, and in all except the Trichodoridae this stylet is hollow and used to extract cell contents. Many feed on the cytoplasm which accumulates in the region of the stylet following the injection of saliva, although some actually modify the cells they feed upon so that the supply of cytoplasm is increased and they are able to become sedentary feeders and lose their vermiform shape (Heterodera, Globodera, Meloidogyne, Nacobbus). Such nematodes usually produce large numbers of eggs and include the most harmful species.
