Host Range
X. americanum is a virtually non-specific plant nematode, causing it to have over one hundred different plant hosts. The most common plant hosts infected by X. americanum are common weeds and grasses, strawberries, soybeans, forest trees (spruce, pine, etc.), perennial orchards, and grapes. This broad host range is due to the genetic diversity within the X. americanum species. For a complete list of the host range of X. americanum visit the Nemaplex Host Database.
