Nematode Resources
Economic Impact of Nematodes
- Annual crop losses to world agriculture-est $100b and $8b in US
- Some of most damaging pests of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate agriculture.
- Root - knot nematodes (RKN) are the most destructive world wide
What are nematodes?
- Small microscopic worm-shaped animals (0.5-10mm)
- Other shapes (round, pear shaped)
- 25% infect animals and plants
- High fecundity & short life cycle
- Occupy every habitat (freshwater, marine, brackish, terrestrial)
- Numerical dominant - 80,000sp
