Summary in English
Potato cyst nematode (PCN), Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida, is the most important nematode threat to potato production worldwide. If left uncontrolled, PCN is capable of causing severe losses in potato yields. Potato cyst nematode has a remarkable ability to survive unsuitable conditions. Thus, it is the subject of strict quarantine regulations in many countries. In Canada, G. rostochiensis is known to be confined to a small area on the Sannich Peninsula, British Columbia (1965), in Saint-Amable, Québec (2006), and in Alberta (2007). Furthermore, both PCN species are present near Botwood, Newfoundland (1962).
