چکیده

Root-knot nematodes, particularly Meloidogynejavanica (Treub.) Chitwood, 1949 and M. incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood, 1949, are among the most important pathogens of carrots (Daucus carota L.) in Brazil. They damage tap roots by galling, digitation, and constriction, resulting in lower market value (3). Even low soil densities of root-knot nematodes have been reported to reduce marketable root yields (3,11). Root-knot nematode control is important to increase the value of carrot production. Crop rotation is an effective method to control M. incognita (8). Huang et al. (4) controlled the nematodes by growing Crotalaria spectabilis Roth for 8 months before planting carrot. Another cover crop used in rotation are marigolds (Tagetes spp.) (7,10) which contain a substance toxic to nematodes (9). Corn, a poor host to rootknot nematodes (1), is also used in rotation to suppress nematode populations (2,8). Because of the high economic value, corn would be valuable to use in rotation with carrots. The effect of marigold and corn on suppressing M. javanica populations in soil, when used in rotation with carrot, and subsequent carrot yield were studied. Okra, highly susceptible to M. javanica, served as a control crop in this study. Experimental plots were established at the National Vegetable Research Cen te r / EMBRAPA, Brasilia, D.F., in soil (12.3% sand, 27.1% silt, 60.6% clay, and pH 4.9) infested with M. javanica. Plots (each 4 x 5 m 2) were arranged in a randomized com-

Root-knot Nematode Management in Dryland Taro with Tropical Cover Crops.

Twenty-two cover crops were evaluated for their ability to reduce damage by root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica, to taro, Colocastia esculenta, in a tropical cropping system. Cover crops were grown and incorporated into the soil before taro was planted. Barley, greenpanic, glycine, marigold, sesame, sunn hemp, and sorghum x sudangrass DeKalb ST6E were poor or nonhosts to the nematode as me...

Population dynamics of plant nematodes in cultivated soil: length of rotation in newly cleared and old agricultural land.

During a 6-year study of 1-, 2-, and 3-year crop rotations, population densities of Pratylenchus brachyurus, Trichodorus christiei, and Meloidogyne incognita were significantly affected by the choice of crops but not by length of crop rotation. The density of P. brachyurus and T. christiei increased rapidly on milo (Sorghum vulgate). In addition, populations of P. brachyurus increased significa...

Control of Heterodera carotae, Ditylenchus dipsaci, and Meloidogyne javanica with Fumigant and Nonfumigant Nematicides.

Five field trials were conducted in Italy in 1983 and 1984 to test the efficacy of isazofos and benfuracarb in controlling Heterodera carotae on carrot, Ditylenchus dipsaci on onion, and Meloidogyne javanica on tomato. Methyl isothiocyanate (MIT) was tested against H. carotae and M. javanica. Single (10 kg a.i./ha) and split (5 + 5 kg a.i./ha) applications of isazofos gave yield increases of ca...
