Summary of the Express Pest Risk Analysis for Meloidogyne fallax Karssen, 1996
PRA area: Poland
Describe the endangered area: M. fallax is a pathogen of many monocot and dicot species but it has been mainly recorded on potato, oyster plant (Scorzonera hispanica) and carrot. Nematoda may cause losses in carrot, potato, oyster plant crops in PRA area. The likelihood of losses increase in crops on sandy soils.
Main conclusions:
The entire country is endangered in case of M. fallax occurrence. Many of host plants grow and are cultivated in PRA area. Based on available literature data, pest may cause losses in carrot, potato, oyster plant crops in PRA area There is also a risk that M. Falla may cause damages in cultivations in protected conditions.
Phytosanitary measures:
Examination of consignments
Using of nematode free planting material
In case of pest occurence in field crops: Strict measures must be taken to prevent pest entry or further spread within the Poland. Pest need to be immediately and completely eradicated.
