New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have diverse geologies and geographies including forests, rivers, mountains, lakes and associated rural, suburban and urban communities. Their plant agriculture also varies widely with numerous fruit, vegetable and agronomic crops grown on coarse-textured to fine-textured and organic soils. The population density of more than 40 million people allows for vibrant ornamental and recreational plant industries. Plant parasitic nematodes are known to be associated with most, if not all of these ecosystems. Some of these nematode species are key limiting factors of major economic significance and have a sound associated research base. Relatively little, however, is known about the majority of the species of plant parasitic nematodes that exist in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania ecosystems. The first report of a plant parasitic nematode in the region was Meloidogyne sp. identified in New Jersey in 1891.

Michigan farms produce more than 300 different commodities. These contribute $13 billion to the overall food and agriculture industry (MDARD, Facts about Michigan agriculture. https://www.michigan.gov/mdard/0,4610,7-125-1572-7775%2D%2D,00.html, 2017). They include agronomic crops, fruit, vegetables and ornamentals. In addition, Michigan has the largest state forest system in the USA. There are three national forests and more than eight hundred thousand hectares of private forest land. Plant parasitic nematodes are known to be associated with the vast majority, if not all of Michigan agricultural and forest systems. In addition, the roles of bacterial and fungal feeding nematodes have been documented. This would not have been possible without the diversity of nematologists that have studied the nematodes of Michigan. The objectives of this chapter are to: (1) summarize the history of Michigan nematology, (2) document the occurrence and distribution of plant parasitic nematode taxa known to be present in Michigan, (3) describe Michigan’s contributions to understanding their biology and ecology and (4) outline the history and current state of integrated nematode management in the state.
