Summarized distribution of the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, in field crops in the United States

The reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford & Oliveira, 1940 is one of the most important, yield-limiting pathogens of agronomic and vegetable crops across tropical and subtropical climates worldwide. Monitoring the distribution of nematode species across the United States can be helpful to identify areas where scouting and management are needed. Given that R. reniformis has been detected in new states and new counties on field crops since the last report nearly 35 years ago, an updated map is needed. The map created herein is a updated resource summarizing the distribution of R. reniformis on field crops (e.g. agronomic and vegetable crops) at the county level across the contiguous United States.
