Category: Pest
Description: Another type of nematode that affects plants, causing general symptoms of decline without specific above-ground symptoms unless the infestation is severe.
Spiral nematodes, belonging to the genus Helicotylenchus, are plant-parasitic nematodes found in soil. They are named for their characteristic spiral or coiled shape when they are at rest. These nematodes are semi-endoparasitic, meaning they partially embed themselves into the roots of plants while the rest of their body remains in the soil. They feed on a wide range of host plants, including crops like corn, soybeans, potatoes, and various vegetables and ornamental plants.
Impact: Spiral nematodes cause significant damage to plants through their feeding activity:
Root Damage: Feeding by spiral nematodes causes lesions, galls, and other forms of root damage. This disrupts the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients effectively.
Stunted Growth: Plants infested with spiral nematodes often exhibit stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and reduced vigor due to impaired nutrient and water uptake.
Yield Reduction: Infestations can lead to significant yield losses in crops, affecting both quantity and quality.
Increased Susceptibility: Damaged roots are more susceptible to secondary infections by other soil-borne pathogens, which can exacerbate plant health problems.
Control Methods: Managing spiral nematode infestations involves an integrated approach, including cultural practices,
