Root Lesion Nematode Impact on Potato
Root lesion nematodes destructively feed on plant cells, causing massive root tissue necrosis, and are linked to the spread of pathogens.

Erosion of Potato Resistance to Pale Cyst Nematode
Continuous use of potato varieties with the same source of resistance causes genetic selection for stronger and/or more virulent pale cyst nematode populations.

Plant-Parasitic Nematode Characteristics
All plant-parasitic nematodes have a stylet, but not all nematodes that have a stylet are plant-parasitic.

Trap Crops to Control Nematodes
A trap crop that reduces the population of potato cyst nematodes in the soil can lessen cyst production on a subsequent potato crop.
