Nematodes Associated with Zea mays and Their Control Through Organic Soil Amendments

چکیده
On a survey during the period of 2006-2007 a number of tylenchids were found associated with Zea mays in Kashmir valley such as Pratylenchus sativus kaul, 1985, Aphelenchoides srinagrensis Kaul, 1985 and Tylenchorhynchus zeae Sethi and G. Swarp, 1968. These species were found to have morphometric variations probably due to habitat alteration from the originally described ones. As a part of the programme it was to look for management of these nematodes through organic soil amendments such as Poultry manure, Pigeon manure and Saw dust. It was found that the population densities of nematodes were reduced by the organic amendment to a varied extent and Poultry manure caused greatest reduction of nematode populations.

متن کاملNematode Population Fluctuations during Decomposition of Specific Organic Amendments.
Population densities of nematodes in field soil without plants were monitored for 10 months following application of organic amendments to pots in a greenhouse. The four treatments consisted of three different kinds of organic amendments: homogeneous crop residues of maize (Zea mays, C:N = 48.0:1), Texas panicum (Panicum texanum, C:N = 32.9:1), or velvetbean (Mucuna pruriens, C:N = 18.6:1), plu...
متن کاملInfluence of cover crops and soil amendments on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) production and soil nematodes
A pot experiment to determine the effects of summer cover crops and soil amendments on okra yields and population densities of various soil nematode taxa was conducted in two consecutive growing seasons in a subtropical region. Two cover crops, sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) and sorghum sudangrass (Sorghum bicolorrS. bicolor var. sudanense), were grown and returned to the soil with fallow as a c...

A survey of plant parasitic nematodes associated with Zea mays in Kashmir valley was conducted from June 2006 to November 2006 which yielded a number of Tylenchids. Among them, the species Tylenchorhynchus zeae Sethi and G. Swarp, 1968, Pratylenchus sativus kaul, 1985, Aphelenchoides srinagrensisKaul, 1985 are reported herein, with dimensions. The parasites are being recorded for the first time...
متن کاملAmelioration of Spent Oil Contaminated Ultisol with Organic Wastes and its Effect on Soil Properties and Maize (Zea mays L) Yield
Contamination of soil with toxic substances can degrade its capacity to grow plants. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) experiment was set up in 2005 and 2006 to evaluate the effect of organic wastes on the physical properties and maize (Zea mays L) yield of spent oil contaminated (SOC) ultisol in Abakaliki South eastern Nigeria. The wastes comprising poultry droppings (PD) and Rice husk...
