Remarks
Free-living soil nematodes of Rhabditid group. Blocks of Dogwood in different areas of nursery are effected. Owner thinks it may be Phytophora. This sample typical of entire block (at least those trees that are not completely dead). One side of tree appears to be dying, and that side of the roots is sloughing off and rotten, brown. The side of the tree that appears healthy also has very healthy roots on that side of the rootball. White, strong healthy looking.
