A few nematode samples are rolling in now, mostly because golf course superintendents are curious about root-knot juvenile nematodes. Root-knot juvenile populations are highest in the spring. A surprising finding this past month has been that ectoparasitic nematode populations, in particular stunt and spiral, have been relatively high. I would not predict that this would be a trend for the whole of southern New England, but courses near the coast, or more southerly, may have elevated nematode populations this year.
