 The large size of the nematode paired with its ability to repeatedly feed from site to site on the root system of many crops makes this a formidable pest.Reduction of yield and substantial reduction in plant size have been reported for multiple crops.The life cycle is around 24–28 days with optimum temperature being 25-30 C (Huang and Becker, 1999 & Robbins and Barker, 1974).
