Our grad student Denis Gitonga is detecting a high prevalence of #guava root-knot #nematode (M. enterolobii) on guava trees in south Florida which might the source of introduction of this pest to the US long time ago.

Glad to share two newest publications from our lab! Both published online for those interested in root-knot #nematode diversity and virulence. doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-0… doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-…

Introducing two manuscripts from our lab: 1) using RKN-resistant Solanum species for managing southern blight disease doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-1… 2) cover cropping and deep tillage for managing nematodes and soil-borne fungal diseases doi.org/10.1002/ps.7450

Postdoc position working on detection, biology and management of nematodes with the University of Florida in Davie, South Florida. Please RT.

Our new publication shows that guava growers in South FL are struggling with high prevalence of #guava root-knot #nematode due to very limited control options (specially nematicides) available for use. rdcu.be/dd0MQ

Please RT… Our lab in Fort Lauderdale, FL is looking for a Biological Scientist to work on nematodes. This is a permanent job. Interested please use the link below to apply: explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5280…

Last month, I had a great opportunity to share some research data with Plant Pathology student & postdocs at Cornell U Cornell AgriTech Sarah Pethybridge and also with colleagues at USDA-ARS Subtropical Horticulture Research Station Dept. of Agriculture as an invited speaker.

We are looking for an excellent molecular plant Nematologist to join us as an Assistant Professor at UF. Apply by May 18. Details below.

There is an opening for a Graduate Research Assistantship (Ph.D.) in Nematology in our group at UF/IFAS FLREC in South Florida. Please spread the word. For details, please see 👇

Want to learn how plant-parasitic #nematodes move up and down in the soil profile of vegetable crops throughout the year and potential treatment zones, please check out our new paper doi.org/10.1094/PBIOME…

Happy to be part of this field day today sharing some of our results on microbial control of soilborne pathogens and #nematodes

Our lab ran a 5K today. Thanks to Linda Joris for the T-shirt with “NemaFam 4 Life” logo. #nematode

Sharing some #nematode data from our lab at the annual meeting of South FL Golf Course Superintendent Association today! Florida GCSA USGA

Our lab recently reported root-knot nematode, M. enterolobii from #guava in South FL (link.springer.com/article/10.100…) and is currently isolating #fungi associated with this #nematode for potential #disease complex!

Meet our lab members participating and representing our lab at #SON2024 Annual Meeting in Park City, Utah.

Sharing our newest publication on another tropical fruit host for Meloidogyne enterolobii in Florida. #nematode #dragonfruit bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our lab discovered indigenous #insect- and #gastropod-parasitic #nematodes in FL which show great promise as novel biological control agents. Shown here is an example of dead snails after being exposed to the nematode. Stay tuned for future updates on this project #snails #slugs

Our lab’s research findings have made headlines. We welcome any collaborations to further investigate and mitigate the effects of nematode pests on tropical fruits, including guava, passion fruit, dragon fruit and avocado, in the US and beyond. blogs.ifas.ufl.edu/news/2024/09/0…
