Plant parasitic nematodes associated with leatherleaf fern
Abstract:
Seven species of plant parasitic nematodes were found to be associated with leatherleaf fern (Rumohra adiantiformis) in central Florida. Of these, Pratylenchus penetrans, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, and Criconemoides curvatum were commonly encountered. Nematode communities generally included two or three species of plant parasitic nematodes, with greatest diversity in nematode species occurring in ferneries shaded by oak trees. Species diversity was not correlated with fernery age. Leatherleaf fern was tolerant of P. penetrans and T. claytoni in microplot tests.
