Figure 1:

Symptoms of Meloidogyne graminis on an ultradwarf bermudagrass golf green. Only low numbers of M. graminis vermiform stages were recovered from soil, while staining revealed the roots were infested with large numbers of sedentary stages.

Figure 2:

Golf course bermudagrass roots infested by Meloidogyne graminis and M. marylandi typically rot off just below small galls near the soil-thatch interface, creating an extremely abbreviated root system.

Average number of Meloidogyne spp. vermiform stages (J2 and males) recovered from diagnostic samples submitted to the University of Florida Nematode Assay Lab using centrifugal flotation extraction from 100 cm3 of soil (Soil) and mist chamber extraction from four 3.8-cm-diam. turf plugs (Mist) from golf course bermudagrasses in Florida (N = 431), golf course bermudagrasses in Texas (N = 36), or golf course bentgrass/bluegrass in California (N = 34).

Percentage of samples submitted to the University of Florida Nematode Assay Lab from golf course bermudagrass in Florida (N = 431), golf course bermudagrass in Texas (N = 36), and golf course bentgrass/bluegrass in California (N = 34) that were classified as having no risk, low risk, moderate risk, or high risk of damage from Meloidogyne spp. and the percentage of samples that were ‘below threshold’ (no or low risk) and ‘above threshold’ (moderate or high risk) using centrifugal flotation extraction from 100 cm3 of soil (Soil) or mist chamber extraction from four 3.8-cm-diam. turf plugs (Mist). Risk thresholds used per 100 cm3 of soil or per four 3.8-cm-diam. turf plugs were 0 = no risk, 1 ≤ 79 = low risk, 80 ≤ 299 = moderate risk, ≥ 300 = high risk.
