Ematology, Volume 44, No. four, December 2012 Rhizobia spp. and other nodulating bacteria. Whereas M. kikuyensis has been viewed as to become a primitive species within the genus simply because of its uncomplicated morphology and low chromosome quantity, the structure of its feeding web-site is extremely complicated. Influence OF TWO SEED Remedies ON CORN YIELD AND POPULATION OF CORN PARASITIC NEMATODES IN ON-FARM TRIALS. Faghihi, Jamal1, B. Bower2, R.L. Nielsen3, G.J. Bossaer4 and V.R.

The higher price tag of corn along with the introduction of seed treatment options have produced new possibilities to study corn parasitic nematodes. Introduction of seed therapies to handle corn parasitic nematodes has created increased demand for universities to supply independent information and to verify the effectiveness of these goods. In 2011, we established on-farm field plots in southern and northern Indiana to decide the effectiveness of two prevalent seed treatment items (Avictaand VoTivo and Counterinsecticide/nematicide for management of corn parasitic nematodes and their impact on corn yield. These plots had been established primarily based on preceding history of these fields and also the types of corn parasitic nematodes involved. We’ve monitored different species of corn parasitic nematodes all through the expanding season on these sites for a number of years. These plots were in between 100 to 1100 feet extended and have been planted and harvested using grower gear. At all areas, we had greater than usual rainfall early in the season, which may have influenced the effectiveness from the various treatment options plus the pressure brought on by nematodes on corn. Our studies in 2011 on the corn seed treatment options showed inconsistent Title Loaded From File results in managing corn parasitic nematodes or their effect on corn yield. Outcomes from the three southern plots showed no substantial effect from these merchandise on corn yield. At the 1 place, total populations of corn parasitic nematodes were decreased successfully by Counteronly. Surprisingly, additional nematodes were identified in other plots where seed remedies were employed. Similar effects around the populations of corn parasitic nematodes were observed on one of several northern plots. At this internet site, the corn yield was substantially larger in the VoTivoplots. No effects on corn yield or corn parasitic nematodes had been identified within the other northern plot. DE NOVO TRANSCRIPTOME ASSEMBLY With the FOLIAR NEMATODE APHELENCHOIDES FRAGARIAE. Fu, Zhen1, C.E. Wells1, G. Collier2 and P. Agudelo1. 1School of Agricultural, Forest, and Environmental Sciences, 114 Long Hall, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634; and 2Cyberinfrastructure Technology Integration, 321 Fluor Daniel Creating, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634. The foliar nematode Aphelenchoides fragariae (Aphelenchida: Aphelenchidae) is definitely an endo- and ectoparasite that feeds on aerial parts of over 250 plant species from 47 households. It is actually a prevalent and economically-damaging pest of nursery-grown crops such as foliage and flowering plants. Management of foliar nematodes is challenging simply because of its facultative parasitism (i.e. getting the capability to feed on both plants and fungi) and its ability to survive in low moisture circumstances.
