Abstract
Abstract Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is an economically important fruit crop for the United States, with a total production of 1.3 million tonnes across 20,000 ha in 2018. Florida produces 15% of the total strawberry produced in the US. The most economically important nematode pest of Florida strawberry is the sting nematode (Belonolaimus longicaudatus), and occasionally the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne hapla) or strawberry crimp nematode (Aphelenchoides besseyi) when introduced within bare-root strawberry transplants from US or Canadian nurseries. This chapter discusses the economic importance, distribution, host range, damage symptoms, and recommended integrated management of B. longicaudatus. Future research requirements and future developments are also mentioned.
