Globodera ellingtonae is one of the potato cyst nematodes and was recently recognized as a new species in the United States.

The restrictions control how the land is used so the soil is not moved by farm equipment or tillage implements to new locations.

The infested soil was collected from a research farm near Powell Butte, OR and from two grower fields in Idaho.

Analysis of the ITS rDNA sequences shows that the Globodera population isolated from Oregon and Idaho is in a different grouping than G. rostochiensis and G. pallida.

When sexually mature after the fourth molt the males fertilize the female which results in eggs and development of the cyst.

[1] Due to the regulated status of G. ellingtonae the land where the nematode was found is under quarantine to prevent additional spread.

If these compounds can be produced and delivered to infested fields this would contribute the depletion of cyst nematode eggs.
