B.G. Chitwood initially conducted research on Ditylenchus dipsaci on ornamental bulbs on Long Island, NY.  He began research on Globodera rostochiensis after it was discovered on Long Island in 1941.  A very significant contribution was the book written with his wife, M.B. Chitwood, Introduction to Nematology.
