BACKGROUND Fluazaindolizine is a novel sulfonamide nematicide that currently under commercialization in various countries. Four trials (two tomato, two zucchini) were carried out over growing seasons root-knot nematode (RKN; Meloidogyne incognita)-infested plastic house to test the effects of single application fluazaindolizine at 1000 and 2000 g ha–1, on RKN, resident community estimate any si...

the reproductive range of the iranian population of white tip nematode in rice, aphel-enchoides besseyi, was investigated in vitro to find out a suitable medium as well as a fa-vorable fungal host for monoxenic culturing this nematode. studies were carried out on rice seed associated fungi, pathogenic fungi and one mushroom (agaricus bisporus) grown on three culture media, rpa (rice polish agar...

Diagnosing and quantifying plant-parasitic nematodes is critical for efficient nematode management. Several studies have been performed intending to demonstrate nematode quantification via real-time quantitative PCR. However, most of the studies used dilution of DNA templates to make standard curves, while few studies used samples with different nematode numbers to make the standard curve, resu...

Effective biosafe management strategies are used to decrease world crop damage produced by plant-parasitic nematodes. This study evaluated the efficiency of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (n-HAP) and mycorrhizal fungi control Meloidogyne incognita infecting tomato plants. Application n-HAP significantly increased juveniles’ mortality (195.67%) egg hatching inhibition percentage (80.71%) compared ...

root-knot nematodes ( meloidogyne spp.) are important group of plant pathogens that have extensive hosting range and are caused for significant damage to agricultural products annually. various management strategies of control on nematodes has been used, but the application of plant products is one of the promising methods for nematode control. in this study, inhibitory effect of essential oils...

the reaction of four field tomato cultivars (super strain b, super chief, mobil, and royal) along with two greenhouse cultivars (polaris and es 1002 f1) was evaluated agianst m. javanica under greenhouse conditions. the soil around tomato seedlings (bearing 5-6 leaves) was inoculated with two levels of the nematode inoculum i.e. 1000 and 2000 eggs as well as second stage juveniles per every kg ...
