Nematicides are used to control a wide variety of nematodes on many crops; unfortunately, oftentimes the control they provide is erratic. This erratic behavior is not always predictable and has been associated with chemical, physical, and biological degradation of nematicides. Their accelerated degradation is an agricultural problem that has been observed in crop monocultures and in other crop ...

E. Aballay, and O. Vilches. 2015. Resistance assessment of grapevine rootstocks used in Chile to the root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne ethiopica, M. hapla, and M. javanica. Cien. Inv. Agr. 42(3): 407-413. The rootstocks 1103 P, 101-14, K 5BB, SO4, and 3309 were assessed to determine their resistance to the three common Meloidogyne species present in Chilean vineyards, M. ethiopica, the most frequ...

Tests of eight Dutch Meloidogyne chitwoodi isolates to the differential set for host races 1 and 2 in M. chitwoodi provided no evidence for the existence of host race 2 in the Netherlands. The data showed deviations from expected reactions on the differential hosts, which raised doubts of the usefulness of the host race classification in M. chitwoodi. The term ''pathotype'' is proposed for grou...

In an investigation on nematode dist r ibut ion in a vineyard (1), difficulty arose in determining tile Meloidogyne spp. present. Chromosomal analysis indicated the presence of at least six populations, representing four species (2). T h e objective of this study was to determine any differences among the Meloidogyne populat ions in their distr ibution in the soil and between vines. T o m a t o...

SOCIETY OF NEMATOLOGISTS 43 ANNUAL MEETING ESTES PARK, COLORADO 7–11 AUGUST 2004 CHARACTERIZATION OF ANTAGONISTIC RHIZOBACTERIA TO CONTROL MELOIDOGYNE JAVANICA ON TOMATO. Abadir, Seham K., A. E. Tawfik, and F. W. Raid. Plant Pathology Institute, Agriculture Research Center,

T h e effect of high soil t empera ture on resistance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculenturn Mill.) to Meloidogyne spp. has been repor ted by several authors (3,4,5). However, the susceptibility of tomato grown at high soil temperatures to different races o£ M. incognita (Kofoid and White) Chi twood has not been reported. This mat te r must be considered an impor tan t factor in a tomato screening...

Variable-rate applications of the nematicide aldicarb were compared to producer standard rates in eight field tests over 3 years. Test areas (308 to 1,015 m long) were divided into eight or five blocks. Each block contained two plots with a variable-rate treatment (VRT) of aldicarb and a producer standard treatment (PST) of aldicarb. Each VRT plot was divided into three subunits and intensively...

Variability in the reproduction of the four races ofMeloidogyne incognita on the soybean cuhivars Pickett 71 and Centennial was studied in growth chamber experiments. Analysis of variance in the number of eggs produced by the races 6 weeks after the plants had been inoculated with 5,000 eggs of each race revealed that the nematode race by soybean cultivar interaction was highly significant (P =...

Effects of culture filtrate of Verticillium chlamydosporium were evaluated on mortality of larvae and hatching of eggs of Meloidogyne javanica. Mortality of M. javanica larvae was found to be directly proportional to concentrations of culture filtrate of V. chlamydosporium and duration of exposure. Maximum mortality of larvae (65.5%) was observed in 100% concentration of culture filtrate after ...

Two populations of Meloidogyne arenaria (race 2, incompatible on peanut) enhanced development of Cylindrocladium black rot (CBR) on CBR-resistant peanut cv. NC 3033 in greenhouse factorial experiments. Nematode populations 256 and 486 (0, 10(3), 10 eggs per 15-cm pot) were tested in all combinations with Cylindrocladium crotalariae (0, 0.5, 5, 50 microsclerotia per cm(3) of soil). Root-rot inde...
