Plant-parasitic nematodes can be a pest concern for corn. Current corn nematode management options include seed-treatment and soil-applied nematicides; both are implemented at the time of planting. There are no effective management strategies to use after the corn crop has been planted, however effective scouting is the foundation to a successful, integrated nematode management program.
