Title
The white potato cyst nematode (Globodera pallida) – a critical analysis of the threat in Britain
D L TRUDGILL; M J ELLIOTT; K EVANS; et al. Annals of Applied Biology 2003. doi:10.1111/j.1744-7348.2003.tb00271.x
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation White potato cyst nematode has replaced the yellow species in most of England and Wales.
- Observation Current management is modeled as mostly ineffective, with white potato cyst nematode populations continuing to increase.
- Association White potato cyst nematode multiplication rate declines as its population density at planting rises.
- Intervention effect Modeling indicates enough eggs survive nematicide treatment for white potato cyst nematode populations to rebound.
- Intervention effect White potato cyst nematode population increase was almost as great in nematicide treated plots as untreated plots.
- Intervention effect Currently available partially resistant cultivars are modeled as unable to prevent white potato cyst nematode increase except in avirulent populations.
- Association The effectiveness of partially resistant cultivars is independent of nematode population density.
- Intervention effect Partially resistant cultivars can be very effective with a nematicide.
- Observation Only about 8% of potato area is planted with partially resistant cultivars.
- Recommendation Increasing availability of commercially attractive partially resistant potato cultivars is the greatest priority.
