Data for this list were compiled by CDFA and illustrate the wide range of crops on which R. reniformis has been found on plants imported into California. The symptoms on pineapple (stunted roots in center of picture) illustrate the potential seriousness of this nematode for California agriculture

These findings were as a result of examinations for burrowing nematode because California did not have an official quarantine on R. reniformis.

It is interesting to note that although the main concern from this nematode is for farm planting, the potential for importation on ornamentals is a major problem.
