Heterodera Zeae N. Sp. (Nematoda: Heteroderidae), a Cyst-Forming Nematode On Zea Mays

Analysis of Cyst and Cone Top Morphometrics of Indian Populations of Maize Cyst Nematode

“…The cone tops of 20 cysts of each population were mounted in Canada balsam (Kornobis 1976). Identity of these populations as H. zeae was confirmed as per the species descriptions given by Koshy et al (1970).…”

“…Heterodera zeae, the maize cyst nematode, is a major nematode pest of maize. H. zeae was first described from 'Chapli' village in Udaipur district of Rajasthan, India by Koshy et al (1970).

The Probable Spreading and Risk Assessment of the Corn Cyst Nematodes Heterodera zeae and Punctodera chalcoensis on Maize in Belgium and the Netherlands

“…The corn cyst nematode is a sedentary semiendoparasite feeding on plant roots and has been associated with significant yield losses of between 21 and 73% in infected maize [12]. Above ground symptoms are often characterized by isolated patches of unhealthy plants that are stunted and pale colored [13]. The damage caused by the pest is more profound under hot and dry conditions [14].…”
