Biomanagement of Reniform Nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis by Fruit Wastes and Paecilomyces lilacinus on Chickpea
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fruit wastes of apple (Malus pumila), banana (Musa paradisiaca), papaya (Carica papaya), pomegranate (Punica granatum) and sweet orange (Citrus sinesis) @ 20g/plant and the fungal biocontrol agent Paecilomyces lilacinus @ 2g (mycelium+spores)/plant, alone and in combination were evaluated for the management of reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis infecting chickpea under glasshouse conditions. The individual applications of fruit wastes of sweet orange and fungal biocontrol agent P. lilacinus significantly (P= 0.05) reduced the nematode multiplication of R. reniformis, which ultimately increased the plant growth of chickpea as against the plant inoculated with R. reniformis alone. The rest of the fruit wastes did not significantly improved the plant growth as compared to plants inoculated with R. reniformis. The best protection of chickpea against R. reniformis was recorded on the integration of P. lilacinus with fruit wastes of papaya followed by apple and pomegranate, which ultimately increased the plant growth and reduced population buildup of reniform nematode. The integration of P.lilacinus with fruit wastes of either sweet orange or banana did not significantly improved the plant growth and reduced nematode multiplication as compared to the individual application of P. lilacinus..

Efficacy of Paecilomyces lilacinus in Suppressing Rotylenchulus reniformis on Tomato.
Effects of rice-cultured Paecilomyces lilacinus on Rotylenchulus reniformis were studied in both greenhouse and field microplot tests with 'Rutgers' tomato. Numbers of R. reniformis were reduced (P </= 0.05) by P. lilacinus, with suppression in the initial greenhouse test ranging from 46 to 48% for two rice + P. lilacinus treatments; the rice-only treatment caused a nonsignificant reduction of ...
متن کاملHistological Changes in Gossypium hirsutum Associated with Reduced Reproduction of Rotylenchulus reniformis.
The reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) is an important parasite of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Parasitism involves the formation of syncytia to provide nutrition for the female. Events that occur at the feeding site may determine the degree of susceptibility of cotton plants to reniform nematode. The objective of this work was to describe histological modifications associated ...

Two sources of inoculum of reniform nematodes, Rotylenchulus reniformis, were identified for infestation of ornamental foliage plants in commercial greenhouses. These were water from a local canal system and rooted cuttings purchased from other sources. Eight ornamental plant species were identified as good hosts for the reniform nematode, with each species supporting a reniform population dens...

The responses of 20 species of ornamental palms and one cycad (Cycas revoluta) to two populations of the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, from southern Florida were studied in two greenhouse experiments conducted in 1989-1991 and 1991-92. Ornamental palms in pots were exposed to initial population densities of 400 and 1,500 R. reniformis/l00 cm(3) soil for 16 and 15 months, respecti...

The reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford &Oliveira, has become a serious threat to cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in the United States during the past decade. The objective of this study is to isolate fungi from eggs of R. reniformis and select potential biological control agents for R. reniformis on cotton. Soil samples were collected from cotton fields located in Jef...
