Nematology

         FY 07-08 $5,800
Summary This WG brings together professionals from UC, CDFA, USDA, commodities and industries who are interested in Nematology. Its purpose is to report and discuss new advances, coordination of activities, research and extension needs, and training programs. It manages a database system that includes reported associations between nematode species and host or crop species. WG members coordinate collaborative projects.
