Plant Nematology Laboratory Extension and Outreach projects address current issues relating to plant-parasitic nematodes (microscopic roundworms) and their effect on the economics of agriculture within the state of Maryland. Extension and outreach and projects are conducted in coordination with personnel in the University of Maryland System, the Maryland Department of Agriculture and the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. Two economically significant nematode species, Heterodera glycines (Soybean Cyst Nematode) and Meloidogyne incognita (Root-Knot Nematode) are the focus of ongoing programs.
The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Coordinator supports the cooperative goals of the Maryland IPM Program via program accountability and interactions with institutions addressing pest management issues on a state, regional and national level.
