Efficiency of Solarization and Incorporation of Cattle Manure in Management of Meloidogyne javanica (Treub.) Chitwood and Globodera pallida (Stone) Behrens Associated with Potato

چکیده
Potato is a strategic crop in Tunisia but is susceptible to many pests and diseases. Nematodes of the genera Meloidogyne and Globodera are important pests that cause yield losses and depreciation of tuber quality. A trial was carried out in a plot where the soil was naturally infested with M. javanica and G. pallida. Three soil treatments were tested and compared. Soil solarization (SS) and incorporation of cattle manure (70 T/ha), applied alone or in combination, were assessed for their impact on potato crop. SS alone improved potato growth by 13.56% and yield by 26.53%. Compared to the control, SS combined with cattle manure decreased the multiplication rate of M. javanica by 38.14% and enhanced plant height (29.47%), fresh root and shoot weight (47.89 and 59.53%, respectively) and yield (26.40%). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Usefulness of egg assays in nematode population-density determinations.
Much progress has been made in developing techniques for characterizing population dynamics of nematodes. Nevertheless, most assay procedures have numerous inherent limitations (1,13). The efficiency of given methods may be dependent on soil type, moisture, and other environmental and biological factors (1,13). Certain extraction methods (e.g., Baermann funnel) depend on nematode motility. In a...

Interactions between root-knot nematodes and viruses were recently reviewed by Taylor (4). Compared to virus-free cowpea (vigna sinensis Endl.), cowpea mosaic virus-infected plants formed fewer galls on roots in response to infection by Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood (2). On the other hand, tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.) infected with tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) and ...

Soil and root samples of tomato were collected from root knot nematode-infested fields of fifteen different localities of Malakand and Swat (NWFP) Pakistan in 2006-07 and Trichoderma harzianum was isolated from these samples. These isolates were tested against Meloidogyne javanica (Treub) Chitwood in the in vitro. Isolates Th1 and Th9, collected from Jabban and Shamozai were more aggressive tha...

Using standard hybridoma technology and hierarchical screening, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were obtained with specific reactivity against two developmental stages of Globodera pallida. The procedure was based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with homogenates prepared from second-stage juveniles, young adult females, and potato roots. Hybridomas were formed by fusing myelomas with ...

The identity of a newly discovered population of pale potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida associated with potato in eastern Idaho was established by morphological and molecular methods. Morphometrics of cysts and second-stage juveniles were generally within the expected ranges for G. pallida with some variations noted. The Idaho population and paratype material from Epworth, Lincolnshire, En...
