- Observation Pratylenchus thornei reduced plant stands and stunted plants of wheat in the field in Sonora, Mexico.
- Intervention effect Nematicides controlled the Pratylenchus thornei nematode in wheat.
- Intervention effect Nematicides were not economical for wheat growers.
- Observation No resistance to the nematode was found in existing commercial wheat cultivars.
