Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and potential EPNs can be used as vital tools in integrated pest management (IPM) programs for both organic and conventional production systems.

The objective of this study was to measure population densities of <i>M. xenoplax</i> on a monthly basis over five years, in relation to soil temperature and moisture regimes, in a 16-year-old irrigated sweet cherry orchard. We tested the following hypotheses: (i) population densities would start low each spring and increase continuously with soil degree-day heat accumulation during each growing season, and (ii) year-to-year variation in population growth during the growing season would be correlated with year-to-year variation in soil degree-day heat accumulation. The data did not support these hypotheses and indicated that although there were significant differences in population densities among sample dates, there were no regular seasonal cycles of population growth and decline. We suggest that in mature cherry orchards, density-dependent processes mask the influences of annual changes in soil temperature and moisture on population processes. The data indicate that for diagnostic sampling purposes, all seasons would be equally representative of <i>M. xenoplax</i> population densities in irrigated orchards in BC. Furthermore, the lack of any strong linkage between soil temperature regimes and within- or across-year population dynamics indicate that modeling efforts based solely on abiotic drivers of temperature and moisture would not likely represent changes in population dynamics of <i>M. xenoplax</i> that will actually occur with climate change.</p>","PeriodicalId":16475,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nematology","volume":"56 1","pages":"20240041"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11585361/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142709736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
