This section
contains information on the biology of nematodes that parasitize mint. Select a nematode
species from the contents menu for more information on life cycles, feeding behavior,
population dynamics, and symptoms and effects on plant growth.

| Representation of nematodes feeding on
a mint root. A = adult female northern root-knot nematode in gall, B = second stage
juveniles of northern root-knot nematode invading root, C = pin nematodes, D = root-lesion
nematode inside root and forming lesion, E = root-lesion nematodes in stages of invading
root, F = stubby-root nematode, G = ring nematode, H = mint nematode. Nematode sizes are
in proportion to one another but actual root size is reduced for ease of illustration. |
