abstract in order to identify plant parasitic nematodes of potato fields, 55 soil samples and a few tuber samples were collected from khorasan razavi province during 2005-2006 .soil samples were washed and nematodes were extracted by centrifugal flotation technique. the extracted nematodes were fixed and transferred to glycerin. baermann funnel method was used for extracting nematodes from tube...

the synthesis or assembly of the molecules of compact myelin. Blakemore et a1.l reported that protein and lipid analyses of myelin from affected white substance were not abnormal except for some lowering of total protein content. Internodal myelin and much of that surrounding the paranodes appears normal. Some circumferential thinning of myelin sheaths has been described, but no lesions of the ...

Fields in a concentrated area of soybean production in South Carolina were chosen for soil sampling to determine the distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes. Five hundred sampling sites were distributed over 19 counties according to county soybean acreage. Helicotylenchus and Scutellonema were identified most frequently from soil samples; together, these genera occurred in over 70% of the sam...

Surveys from 1986 to 1988 identified 22 phytoparasitic nematode species in Arkansas cotton fields. Meloidogyne spp. was found in ca. 15% of the fields sampled. Of these samples ca. 33% were found to have a population density of 106/100 cm(3) of soil or more. Rotylenchulus reniformis was found in high numbers (5,000 +/100 cm(3) of soil) in 1% of the fields sampled in 1988. Heterodera glycines wa...

The list of plant parasitic nematodes of the family Dolichodoridae, known from Iran, is updated. 81 species belonging to 13 genera and three subfamilies are included in the list. Data for 29 species are added, of which seven species viz. Neodolichorhynchus phaseoli, Pratylenchoides crenicauda, P. erzurumensis, P. utahensis, Scutylenchus paniculoides, Trophurus impar and Tylenchorhynchus variann...

The stunt nematode, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, was found to cause a reduction in root volume (cm) of loblolly pine at population densities equivalent of 125 nematodes/100 cm (6 in) soil and greater. The results of a host range test conducted in containers under controlled conditions determined that buckwheat cultivar (Fagopryum esculentum ‘Mancan’), velvetbean (Mucuna pruriens), Kobe lespedeza ...

In a survey of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with agricultural crops in nine Maine counties, 744 soil samples from 26 potential host plants were analyzed between November 1987 and January 1989. The most commonly encountered nematode genus was Pratylenchus, occurring in 85% of the samples from most crops, except blueberries and onions. Pratylenchus penetrans and P. crenatus were found com...

Abstract Three known species, Aphelenchus avenae , Ditylenchus myceliophagus and Tylenchorhynchus aduncus (Rhabditida, Tylenchomorpha), are described from sand coastal dunes in Spain associated to the rhizosphere of xerophilic plants. A. is characterized by having stylet with 16–22 µm long, pharyngeal dorsal gland overlapping intestine, postvulval uterine sac about 2.5 times body diameter, fema...

Abstract Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) can cause substantial economic yield losses to many agronomic crops in the United States. A regional-scale survey was completed across 20 counties determine PPNs prevalence Michigan corn and how factors such as soil type, tillage, irrigation, cropping systems influence their distribution. Ten different major genera of were identified fields: Longidorus ...

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 ...
