Evaluation of alternative crops for management of Pratylenchus neglectus in Montana winter wheat production: Author: Zuck, Peter Christopher; Date: 2010-05-15; Program: Plant Pathology; Abstract: A series of crop rotations were evaluated for their impacts on soil-borne populations of root lesion nematodes, Pratylenchus neglectus. Population changes, measured as the ratio of P. neglectus adults counted at harvest to those counted at planting time, was recorded under a series of two-year rotations alternating winter wheat with either fallow, barley, pea, lentil, canola, and camelina. Fallow, barley, pea, and camelina were found to have a neutral effect on nematode populations (p < 0.001). Winter wheat and canola caused significant increases in populations, while lentils caused signifi...; Download File | View full details
