First Report of Stubby-Root Nematode, Paratrichodorus minor, on Onion in Georgia, U.S.A

Nematode response to cool season annual graminaceous species and cultivars.

The response of 29 rye, oat, triticale, and wheat cultivars to selected nematode species was determined in the greenhouse. Variability in nematode root galling and final nematode population densities in root and soil in response to cool season annual graminaceous crops occurred for spiral (Helicotylenchus dihystera), stubby root (Paratrichodorus minor), and root-knot (Meloidogyne incognita) nem...

The first report of lumbar paralysis in sheep due to nematode larvae infestation in Iran

Stage-specific Population Development and Fecundity of Paratrichodorus minor.

A conceptual model of the life cycle of Paratrichodorus minor consisting of the egg stage, four juvenile stages, and the adult stage was proposed. Development of an individual from one stage to the next was described by a probability distribution defined by the mean length of time spent in the stage and the standard deviation associated with the mean duration. Experiments were conducted to esti...

Effect of organic amendment on organic metabolites in root knot nematode (Meloidogyne Incognita) infested spinach

The Nematodes are roundworms that are found in every environment of the earth. While some species are harmful parasites, others play a vital role in nutrient cycle and medical research. Nematode infestation in the fields is poly-specific; however, depending on the agro-climatic conditions, one or two species are dominant over the rest. The present studies attempts to observe and control the roo...
