Okra was grown in field plots of Tifton loamy sand naturally infested with the nematodes Meloidogyne incognita and Criconemoides ornalus and the pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, F. roseum, and Pythium spp. Plots were treated with various soil pesticides and left exposed or covered with biodegradable paper film mulch under trickle irrigation. Soil was assayed for nematodes and fun...

Treated and nontreated field plots were assayed, and the population density of each plant-parasitic nematode present was compared with crop growth and yield and with the population densities of other nematode species in the same plots. The strongest correlations between nematode population densities and growth responses occurred when soil assays for nematodes were made 55-73 days after planting...

Reproduction of Criconernoides simile, Paratylenchus projectus, and Helicotylenchus pseudorobustus, alone and in certain combinations, was characterized during 50 days on the soybean cultivars Custer and Hood. Custer was the more suitable host for all three nematodes and C. simile was the most vigorous parasite on both cultivars. C. simile and H. pseudorobustus reproduced as well in combination...

The interception of Ditylenchus dipsaci, D. destructor, and Aphelenchoides fragariae, which are classified as quarantine pests, has been reported to occur on imported garlic bulbs used for consumption at several traditional markets in Bogor. This finding should increase awareness the chance contamination Indonesia’s fields. study aimed evaluate nematode community determine polyphasic characters...

a computer software was designed to facilitate identification of nematode species. the first section of the computer program was prepared to identify the species of the genus criconemoides. nemidsoft can be easily installed on personal computers with a minimal requirements. the software can be edited by users and developed and generalized to other genera of the nematodes. by having the morpholo...

A total of 211 soil samples were collected in different crop fields from 10 districts. Out samples, 137 diagnosed for plant parasitic nematodes. The the cruciferous and solanaceous crops. All together twelve nematodes identified. identified genera are Meloidogyne, Helicotylenchus, Pratylenchus, Tylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Hoplolaimus, Belonolaimus, Criconemoides, Aphelenchoides, Hirschmanniell...
