Virus Drives Peach Tree Death Focus at Penn State Lab
Scientists at the Penn State Fruit Research Laboratory in Biglerville study dagger nematodes that spread a lethal virus in soil. A worm washer separates nematodes, a video microscope aids identification, and plots test soil movement and ground cover effects. Grain amaranth may replace fumigation to curb transmission.
