Susceptibility of Maples to Root-Knot Nematodes    (View PDF)

Frank S. Santamour, Jr.

Abstract: Seedlings of 19 maple (Acei) species, representing 11 of the 23 botanical sections recognized in the genus, were inoculated with the common root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne arenaria (two races), M. hapla, M. incognita and M. javanica, and 10 species with M. querciana, the oak rootknot nematode. Some major landscape species, such as A saccharum and A. pseudoplatanus, were tolerant or resistant to all nematodes. Most of the other widely grown maples were susceptible to at least one of the common nematodes. Susceptibility to M. hapla appeared to be related to the sectional classification of maples. None of the maple species tested was susceptible to the oak root-knot nematode.
