Nematodes can negatively impact rice yields under the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method. Studies found yield reductions of 8-69% attributed to nematode build-up under aerobic rice cultivation compared to flooded conditions. Controlled irrigation in SRI may be associated with the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola, which can cause yield losses of 21-64%. A field and greenhouse study examined the effects of different irrigation treatments on root galling and nematode populations caused by the root-knot nematode. The results showed greater gall formation and nematode populations under aerobic or saturated conditions compared to alternate flooding.
