COURSE MAINTENANCE

most golfers have heard the statement, “The greens have nematodes” at some point So, what exactly are nematodes and how do they affect the health and playability of the greens? There are three types of nematodes that can affect turfgrass: root knot, sting, and lance:
Root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp ) are the most common type found in turfgrass They are small, microscopic worms that infect the roots of the plant and cause swelling and distortion, which can lead to reduced water and nutrient uptake, stunted growth, and yellowing of the leaves According to the University of Florida, population densities of 200-500 nematodes per 100 cc of soil can cause significant damage to turfgrass roots However, in some cases, population densities as low as 50-100 nematodes per 100 cc of soil can cause damage
Sting nematodes (Belonolaimus longicaudatus) are larger than root knot nematodes and can cause damage to the root system of the plant They feed on the root tissue and can create holes and tunnels, which can lead to water and nutrient loss, stunted growth, and yellowing of the leaves According to the University of Georgia, population densities of 10-20 nematodes per 100 cc of soil can cause significant damage to turfgrass roots
Lance nematodes (Hoplolaimus spp ) are like sting nematodes and can cause damage to the root system of the plant They feed on the root tissue and can cause stunted growth, yellowing of the leaves, and reduced water and nutrient uptake According to the University of California, population densities of 100-200 nematodes per 100 cc of soil can cause significant damage to turfgrass roots
