Several formulations of 1,3-dichloropropene and chloropicrin were compared with a methyl bromide/chloropicrin formulation for nematode control on tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) grown on a sandy soil in Immokalee, Collier Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Series No. N-01294. This work was supported by funding from the United States Department of Agri culture Specific Coop...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Knowledge of host factors affecting plant-nematode interactions is scarce. Here, relevant interaction phenotypes between a nodulating model host, Lotus japonicus, and the endoparasitic root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita are assessed via a genetic screen. METHODS Within an alpha experimental design, 4-week-old replicate plants from 60 L. japonicus ecotypes were inocul...

Biofertilizer Ning shield was composed of different strains of plant growth promotion bacteria. In this study, the plant growth promotion and root-knot nematode disease control potential on Trichosanthes kirilowii in the field were evaluated. The application of Ning shield significantly reduced the diseases severity caused by Meloidogyne incognita, the biocontrol efficacy could reached up to 51...

Meloidogyne incognita is a common root-knot nematode with a wide range of plant hosts. We aimed to study the metabolites produced at each stage of the nematode life cycle to understand its development. Metabolites of Meloidogyne incognita were extracted at egg, J2, J3, J4, and female stages and 110 metabolites with available standards were quantified using CE-TOF/MS. Analyses indicated abundanc...

– 8 – In 1993 and 1994, many crosses were made with the goal of developing rootstocks with broad and durable nematode resistance, while improving horticultural characters such as rooting ability and shoot length. The parents of these crosses included a number of grape species known to be highly resistant to both root-knot and dagger nematodes. They included several forms of Vitis arizonica, V. ...
