Abstract

The Nachrichtenblatt für den Deutschen Pflanzenschutzdienst, today's Journal of Cultivated Plants, celebrates its 100th birthday. It has remained true to its goal of “providing instruc­tion and information to those involved in the practical plant protection service” to this day as stated in its first issue by Otto Appel. This also applies to the field of nematology. The topics have expanded over time and developed further on an international level. While the main focus was initially on the biology and host plant spectrum of the various nematode species, today it is on host-parasite interactions, resistance and tolerance of cultivated plants and the influence of climate change and globalization on the distribution and harmful effects of nematodes. The present article looks back at the topics 100 years ago, presents current research topics using the example of ongoing work at the Julius Kühn Institute and provides an outlook on the topics of the future.
