@Bcole36258709 @nemaBiodiversit That’s cool! Also, I’m curious what nematodes in West Africa cause this symptoms on yams?

[Che-Chang Liang @liangyoona]

Dry rot disease of Yam! There are brown necrotic patches inside the yam tubers, which are caused by Pratylenchus coffeae!

It was very fortunate to collect several super cute species of Criconematidae nematodes during a field survey in Chiayi, Taiwan!

A cool nematode collected from the rhizosphere of wax apple, with complicated spear structure! and I think it belongs to the genus of Diphtherophora??

@JeffBarizon I guess... M. incognita or enterolobii?

[Che-Chang Liang @liangyoona]

@LPerepolkin @activeplantnema sure, thank you!

Pomelo with minor element deficient symptoms. Pull out the root, and stained with cotton blue. And there were a lot of citrus nematodes with the cute little tail!

Here is an example of #tomato grafted on root-knot resistant rootstock S. sisymbriifolium. Rootstock w/o #nematode damage whereas roots of scion escaped from the #graft union are galled. Here the graft was short and near the ground level. Overall our USDA-MBT project looks great!

Scallion plant root with galls and protruding egg-mass caused by Meloidogyne graminicola. And with a beautifully perineal pattern!
