Predation of plant parasitic nematodes by other soil organisms
A diverse range of soil organims minimise the impact of pest nematodes via mechanisms such as predation, parasitisation, production...
Soil predation and pore space
All organisms in soil occupy the pore space surrounded by mineral particles, plant roots and organic matter.
Role of nematodes in nutrient cycling
Nitrogen cycling occurs because nematodes have a higher C:N ratio than their prey.
Diagnosing root lesion nematode
Sarah Collins explains how to diagnose root lesion nematode, a common plant parasitic nematode.
Managing fusarium crown rot
Daniel Huberli explains how to manage fusarium crown rot.
Diagnosing rhizoctonia root rot
Daniel Huberli explains how to diagnose rhizoctonia root rot, a common soil disease.
Root lesion nematodes
Root lesion nematodes are microscopic, plant-parasitic worm-like organisms that can migrate freely between roots and soil.
Fusarium crown rot
Crown rot is caused by the fungal pathogens Fusarium pseudograminearum and/or F. culmorum.
Cereal cyst nematode
Cereal cyst nematode (Heterodera avenae) is a pest of cereal crops.
