JAFFEE PEACH RING NEMATODE - BACTERIAL CANKER COMPLEX Susceptible - almond, apricot, cherry, kiwi, nectarine, peach, pear, plum, prune. Bacteria (Pseudomonas syringae ) is usually present in orchards. Ring nematode (Criconemella sp. ) stresses trees. Stress predisposes trees to bacterial canker. Usually associated with younger trees. Usually associated with sandy soils. HEALTHY INFESTED RING NEMATODE (MESOCRICONEMA XENOPLAX) 7

SCVTG Becky Westerdahl UC Cooperative Extension Nematologist Professor of Nematology, UC Davis April 20, 2017 HOW NEMATODES INJURE VINEYARDS: 1. Mechanical injury - penetration and movement through tissues 2. Cellular changes A. Death of cells (necrosis) B. Changes in growth of cells 3. Physiological changes in host A. Interruption in uptake and flow of water and nutrients from roots B. Interaction in flow of food from leaves to roots 4. Create openings for entry of other microorganisms 5. Transmission of viruses 6. Increase susceptibility to environmental stress SAMPLING FOR NEMATODES: NEMATODES ARE NOT TYPICALLY UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED - MULTIPLE SUBSAMPLES / SAMPLE pcok 9

SAMPLING FOR NEMATODES: In soil, dig into root zone where moisture is present Place soil and small roots into plastic bag Soil from several places should be combined Collect about 1 quart of soil and roots Sample healthy areas also and place in separate bag Seal bags and keep cool (do not freeze) Label bags - name, address, sample location, date, crop history, existing crop, next proposed crop Notify laboratory that is to receive samples COACHELLA VALLEY CITRUS NEMATODE ON GRAPES 1400 LARVAE/50 ML SOIL 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 BLOOM HARVEST TREAT TREAT D J F M A M J J A S O N D MONTH 10
