Root-knot and Reniform Nematodes
• Worldwide there are > 4,100
species of plant-parasitic
nematodes.
• $100 billion/yr loss worldwide.
• $10 billion/yr loss in USA.
• Root-knot nematodes can
cause 20-38% crop loss.

The Secret of Sunn Hemp in Suppressing Plant-parasitic Nematodes
Mechanisms:
1. Serves as a poor host
2. Allelopathic
3. Enhance nematode-trapping fungi
4. Enhance beneficial nematodes
and soil arthropods, increase
plant tolerance

SH Leaf tissue was most suppressive,
and the result resembled those in the
whole plant tissues.
• Suppressive effect of SH is most
significant at 2- and 3-month old.

Managing Reniform Nematodes with Sunn Hemp • Vermiform stage of reniform nematodes are easier to kill than the
anhydrobiotic stage.
Vermiform stage Thus, farmers should plant sunn
hemp soon after termination of
a sweet potato crop.

Plant-parasitic Nematodes
• > 4,100 species of plant-parasitic nematodes are
known
• $100 billion/yr loss worldwide
• $10 billion/yr loss in USA
• Root-knot nematodes can cause 20-38% crop loss
• Especially damaging to cucurbit crop (no resistant
cultivars)
• Cover crops provide great potential to suppress plant-
parasitic nematodes.

Conclusions
‘Sodbuster' oil radish is a potential conventional trap crop and a good biofumigant
cultivar against root-knot and reniform nematodes.
Terminating oil radish at 4 weeks reduced galling on pumpkin and increased the
total fruit weight (74%).
Weed whacking oil radish or mustard + till + covering black plastic for 1 week
reduced plant-parasitic nematodes by 39%.
