Accomplishments

Milestones Accomplished

• Soil health meeting held in New York/Michigan focusing on report cards for soil health. Planning is currently underway to hold meetings immediately prior to the annual Society of Nematologists meeting in Michigan in 2015, combining both 2014 and 2015 milestones.

• Molecular characterization of Melodoigyne graminis and Subanguina radicicola populations. Research is in progress.

Impacts

Determining the factors that contribute to suppression of plant-parasitic nematode populations by tall fescue will aid in optimizing use of this cover crop for managing nematodes.
The identification and use of biological controls and rotation crops that reduce plant parasitic nematode populations will assist in the development of effective nonchemical management.
Differences in reaction to Pasteuria isolates and resistance genes in pepper may be used to differentiate races of Meloidogyne hapla.
Globodera tabacum may be useful as a substitute model for the quarantined pathogen Globodera pallida for trap cropping with S. sisymbriifolium under field conditions.
Studies at Michigan State University provide an understanding of the biology of soil-plant-nematode-nutrient interactions that will lead to developing integrated and agro-biologically based nematode and soil health management strategies.
Knowledge of long-term agricultural practices on soil biological activities and crop productivities is aiding in the development of long-term effective strategies for management of plant-parasitic nematodes in the soybean-corn production system in the Midwest.
