Nematodes associated with dieback disease of cranberries.
Hemicycliophora ritteri and Paratrichodorus minor were associated in high numbers with a previously unknown "dieback disease" of cranberry. Chemical treatment with nematicides and fungicides failed to control this disease. There were no correlations (P </= 0.05) among nematode numbers and yields of good or rotten berries, and with disease ratings. Nematodes were apparently not involved in the etiology of this dieback disease.
