Areas of Specialization/Research
The nematology program has responsibility for evaluating the influence of plant parasitic nematodes on agriculturally important plant species. Ongoing projects include the monitoring of species and races of nematodes associated primarily with cotton, soybean, sugarcane, rice and vegetables; evaluation of the impacts of pest complexes on soybean and cotton; and screening of promising new methods of nematode management.
Research Contribution: Activities conducted by personnel in the nematology project address responsibilities in both the basic and applied areas of research. Currently, Yuhong Li is investigating whether or not molecular techniques can be employed to test our hypothesis that distinct pathotypes exist among populations of Rotylenchulus reniformis (Rr). Michael Pontif is in the final stages of his Ph.D. studies on the interaction of Rr with indigenous weed species on cotton and soybean. Joy Bruce-Sumner, a beginning M.S. student, is studying the effects of temperature on egg production by and infectivity of Rr. Ed McGawley has responsibility for oversight of the nematology project and is currently involved in the final stages of development of a new, environmentally responsible, nematicide. Over the years, nematology personnel, in cooperation with other AgCenter scientists, have documented nematode disease complexes of pine, rice, soybean and cotton; have monitored shifts in genera, species and races, distribution, and pathogenicity of all important plant parasitic nematodes; and evaluated the efficacy of all labeled and many experimental nematicides and other management practices used in Louisiana. Graduates of the nematology project currently occupy positions as nematologists in universities in the USA and abroad, and as research scientists in other state and national institutions and private industry. |
