Nematode Testing and Analysis
Any crop can be tested for the presence of nematodes, good or bad.  We utilize a Cobb sieve-Baerman funnel technique to extract nematodes from soil samples and a rotary shaker technique for extraction from roots.  The nematode population must be "active" at the time of sampling or the test can underestimate the population.  Samples pulled from over-dry or recently frozen soils are not good candidates for testing using our methods. 
Testing Services Include:
Soil Test for larval forms and ID to Genus  $20.00/sample

Root Test for larval forms and ID to Genus$15.00/Sample

Cyst Nematode Egg Test     $20.00/Sample
Pest Pros Inc. has over 25 years of experience diagnosing nematode problems and helping growers to manage their affects.  We provide quidelines for whether a test represents a population worthy of management inputs.  Thresholds are not reported.  The impact of a nematode population is variable depending on your specific conditions.  We welcome phone calls or e-mail to discuss your specific situation.  You will not be charged an additional fee unless a significant effort is required on our part to troubleshoot your problem.
