Cotton root protection from plant-parasitic nematodes by abamectin-treated seed.

Effects of aldicarb and neonicotinoid seed treatments on twospotted spider mite on cotton.

Twelve field experiments and one laboratory experiment were conducted to determine the effects of furrow applied aldicarb and seed treatments of thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, Avicta (thiamethoxam + abamectin), Aeris (imidacloprid + thiodicarb), and acephate on twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, on cotton, Cossypium hirsutum L. For the field experiments, data were pooled across all ...

1324 Recent Advances in Nematode Management in U.S. Cotton

The two most economically important plant-parasitic nematodes infesting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) in the United States are the root-knot (Meloidogyne incognita) and the reniform (Rotylenchulus reniformis) nematode. The common means of managing these pests is use of in-furrow or seed-treatment nematicides, or by rotation with non-host crops or resistant cultivars of crops grown in rotation. Un...

Avicta seed coating for protection of carrots against plant parasitic nematodes

Evaluation of an antibiotic-producing strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens for suppression of plant-parasitic nematodes.

The antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG), produced by some strains of Pseudomonas spp., is involved in suppression of several fungal root pathogens as well as plant-parasitic nematodes. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether Wood1R, a D-genotype strain of DAPG-producing P. fluorescens, suppresses numbers of both sedentary and migratory plant-parasitic nematodes. An...

Susceptibility Assessments of Tomato Genotypes to Root Knot Nematodes, Meloidogyne javanica

Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., are one of the important plant parasitic nematodes of tomato in the world. The most suitable control method of plant parasitic nematodes is the use of resistance sources and tolerant cultivars. In the earlier studies, the results showed thatonly 2% (19 out of 537 varieties) were resistant and tolerant to the root knot nematodes. In the supplementary studie...
