Tylenchina Tylenchoidea Pratylenchidae Pratylenchinae
Pratylenchus pseudocoffeae Mizukubo, 1992
Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:
Originally described from Japan. later in Iran and Belgium.
Causes damage to chrysanthemums, inmcluding root lesions, stunting and chlorosis of above-ground parts (Uesugi et al., 2012)
Migratory endoparasite.
Hosts include chrysanthemum, artemisia, aster and grasses (Uesugi et al., 2012).
Ecophysiological Parameters:
Causes damage to chrysanthemums, inmcluding root lesions, stunting and chlorosis of above-ground parts. Rates of population increase and damage to plants were especially high in chrysanthemum variety Jimba (Uesugi et al., 2012)
Host Plant Resistance, Non-hosts and Crop Rotation alternatives:
Nematode-suppressive green manure rotation crops were generally resistant or poor hosts (Uesugi et al., 2012).
