Abstract:
|
Nematodes are worm-like microscopic animals that live in the soil. There are numerous soil-inhabiting nematode species, but not all are harmful to plants. Some nematodes are plant-parasitic, feeding on and damaging roots, including those of grapevines. This Bulletin discusses how to differentiate between harmful and harmless nematodes, the spread of nematodes, control of nematodes in Western Australian vineyards and control measures that can be taken to limit nematodes.
