USDA studies
of new corn pest
BELTSVILLE, Md. - USDA’s
Science and Education Ad
ministration has allocated $llO,OOO
to determine the extent and
seriousness of the infestation of a
new com pest recently found in
Maryland.
The funding from SEA
Agricultural Research will support
studies on the small, wormlike,
corn cyst nematode by the
Nematology Laboratory at Belt
sville Agricultural Research
Center, in cooperation with the
University of Maryland.
Although the com cyst nematode
is considered to be an
economically important problem
in India, the susceptibility of U.S.
com and other crops is unknown.
The funds will be used to deter
mine the threat to U.S. crops. In
Egypt and India, barley and
sorghum are affected, as well as
com.
The, first identification of the
com cyst nematode in the Western
Hemisphere was made by Morgan
Golden, curator of the USDA
Nematode Collection. Golden
found the nematode in samples
brought to him in March by Lorm
Krusberg and Sandra Sardanelli,
I both at the University of

extent
Maryland. The sod samples, part
of a routine survey of Maryland
sods, were taken from a Kent
County com field.
The com cyst nematode is
similar to two other closely related
nematodes in its physical
characteristics and type of plant
damage. These are the soybean
cyst nematode and the sugarbeet
cyst nematode, both of which
cause extensive damage to crops
in the United States. Research
plans include improving the
description of the com cyst
nematode to make identifcation
easier, and evaluating the threat of
this nematode to U.S. com and
small grain production, said R.V.
Rebois, head of the Nematology
Laboratory.
The com cyst nematode and
other cyst-forming nematodes
damage crops by feeding on plant
roots, seriously weakening the
plants. Also, enlargement of
specialized cells and cell wall
destruction in the area of the
nematodes’ feeding causes a
blockage that prevents nutrients
from reaching roots and leaves.
USDA’s Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service did not
quarantine Maryland’s soil, since
the extent of the com cyst
nematode’s infestation in
Maryland and in other states is
unknown. In Maryland, farmers
are voluntarily restricting the
transport of soil and equipment
from infested areas.
“Once the com cyst nematode
becomes established in the soil,
eradication is almost impossible,”
said Golden. Some of the
nematode’s eggs are protected by
a hardened sac, or cyst, made
from the female nematode’s body.
In this form the eggs remain alive
in the soil for several years.
Planting a non-susceptible crop in
an infested field may help reduce
the numbers of nematodes that
remain m the soil.
Since nematodes are small
(l/30th of an mch) identification is
impossible without the use of
microscope slides and high
magnification, according to
Golden. Plants that are severely
infected with nematodes are
stunted and have narrowed,
yellowish leaves. Farmers who
suspect these symptoms are
caused by a com cyst nematode
infestation m their fields, should
take a sample of soil and roots to a
local agricultural extension agent
