This document provides a comprehensive overview of the citrus nematode Tylenchulus semipenetrans (Cobb 1913), including its discovery, distribution, physical characteristics, life cycle, host range, symptoms of infestation, economic impact, and management strategies. The nematode is a significant pest in citrus-growing regions worldwide, causing slow decline in citrus trees. Effective management practices, such as the use of resistant rootstocks and certified propagative plants, are crucial for mitigating the damage caused by this nematode and improving citrus production. Original publication date July 2012.

The nematode Heterodera glycines, known as soybean cyst nematode (SCN), is the most economically damaging pest of soybean crops in the United States and around the world. Members of the Heteroderidae family belong in the order Tylenchida; most are plant parasitic while some are insect parasites. They are obligate parasites that attack different species of crops and weeds. Heteroderidae are divided into two groups: cyst and cystoid based on morphological alterations in their skin. The cyst group are unique in that the female skin changes, transforming into a hardened cyst that protects her eggs. Unlike many plant parasites, there may be little to no aboveground evidence of an infestation with H. glycines. They are extremely damaging to the agricultural economy and impossible to eradicate once established, but with proper management, it is possible to minimize H. glycines populations and maximize yield.

This document provides an overview of soil-inhabiting nematodes, highlighting their diverse habitats, classification, and feeding habits. Nematodes are microscopic roundworms found in various environments, including soil, where they play crucial roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling. The article discusses different types of nematodes, such as herbivores, bacterivores, fungivores, predators, and omnivores, and their ecological significance. It also emphasizes the importance of nematodes as bioindicators of soil health and their potential impact on agriculture. The document is part of the Entomology and Nematology Department series.
