Nematodes associated with potato in prince edward island and new brunswick.
Analysis of soil and root samples collected from potato fields across Prince Edward Island and the Woodstock-Grand Falls region of New Brunswick, Canada showed that Pratylenchus spp. were the dominant plant-parasitic nematodes. Pratylenchus penetrans occurred more often on Prince Edward Island, and P. crenatus predominated in New Brunswick. It was estimated that about 10% of the sites from Prince Edward Island had population levels of Pratylenchus spp. that may have caused economic losses.
