Description
Ghena AbdelRazek and Mohamed Balah survey worm pests linked to weeds on new farm land in Egypt in 2023. These tiny worms live in soil and cut crop yields round the world. Surveys covered barley, wheat, quinoa, eggplant, and tomato fields in two regions. Soil near weed roots was checked for worm types.
Eight worm groups were found near twenty eight weed types. Two weeds were strong hosts for the worms. Wheat and barley held more worm types than quinoa in winter. Three worm groups stood out as key crop threats. Counts varied with weed type, crop, and soil. The authors warn that weeds act as stores for the pests. Good weed control should form part of pest plans.
