Lowering quality damage in open-field vegetables caused by Meloidogyne chitwoodi and M. fallax in the low countries.
The Low Countries (the Netherlands and Belgium) provide some of the best agricultural soils in the world for open-field vegetable production rendering high yields per hectare. Since the 1990s, pre-harvest quality control of carrots (Daucus carota) and black salsify (Scorzonera hispanica) showed an increase in tap root damage with severe galling and rough surface rendering the infected vegetables unprocessable. This quality damage was caused by the polyphagous root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne chitwoodi and M. fallax. This chapter discusses the geographical distribution, damage symptoms, economic impact, recommended integrated management, and management optimization of M. chitwoodi and M. fallax. Future research requirements and future developments are also mentioned.
