Other Coffee-Associated Nematodes

Book cover Plant-Parasitic Nematodes of Coffee

Abstract

This chapter reviews the information available on the many nematode genera and species that have been associated with coffee, with the exception of Meloidogyne spp. and Pratylenchus spp., which are dealt with in other chapters. For many of these species, their coffee-parasitic status cannot be asserted beyond doubt, because they have been found in soil samples collected around coffee plants; this sampling method does not preclude the possibility of reporting nematodes that were actually parasitizing weeds or intercropped plants, or even plants that had grown in the field previously to coffee. On the other hand, coffee-parasitic status can be assigned to many species from the proper sampling and extraction methods used in the surveys, or from laboratory or greenhouse studies. For a subset of the parasitic species, there have been reports of damage to coffee, particularly by Xiphinema spp., Hemicriconemoides spp., Radopholus spp., Rotylenchulus reniformis and Helicotylenchus spp.; in some cases, controlled studies have confirmed the pathogenicity to coffee. This review examines critically all these reports, and outlines initiatives that could contribute to assessing the real importance of these species to coffee production worldwide.
