Abstract:Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) can be found deep in the soil profile, compounding nematode management decisions and detection. This study aimed to understand how seasonal fluctuations in edaphic factors are associated with the vertical distribution of PPNs in south Georgia’s vegetable cropping systems. Five-core composite soil samples were taken monthly (March 2020 to February 2022) at three random locations in six vegetable fields. Fields represented 4 cropping systems (vegetable plasticulture, bare-ground … Show more
