The influence of different initial inoculum densities of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica on the growth of sage (Salvia officinalis), root-knot development and nematode multiplication was investigated 90 days after inoculation under greenhouse conditions. With the increase in the nematode initial inoculum densities, shoot fresh/dry weight, shoot/root length and root fresh/dry weight ...

The Nematodes are roundworms that are found in every environment of the earth. While some species are harmful parasites, others play a vital role in nutrient cycle and medical research. Nematode infestation in the fields is poly-specific; however, depending on the agro-climatic conditions, one or two species are dominant over the rest. The present studies attempts to observe and control the roo...

in this research the effect of two species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices on root knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica was investigated and in different treatments the effects of this interaction on parameters of plant growth , nematode infection and mycorrhizal development were evaluated.shoot fresh and dry weight significantly increased in mycorrhizal t...

two fungal species glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices as well as meloidogyne javanica nematode were used in order to evaluate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on control of different populations of root-knot nematode in tomato. a greenhouse test was established as factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 8 treatments and 4 replicates followed by mycorrhizal...

the effects of poultry manure and cow dung in comparison with the nematicide, carbofuran on the yield of okra infested with root-knot nematode meloidogyne incognita race 2 were investigated. two plots of 17×11 m, each naturally infested with the mentioned nematode, were selected for the study. treatments were poultry manure and cow dung each at the rates of 5 and 10 t ha-1, carbofuran 3g at the...

Florida leads the commercial production of caladiums, a popular ornamental. In Florida, root-knot, sting, and stubby root nematodes are found in caladium fields. Root-knot considered most important all pests caladiums that grown sand. This publication will help growers understand what plant-parasitic current nematode management strategies for industry.

sugar beet (beta vulgaris) is one of the hosts for different root-knot nematode species. in this study, firstly the effect of different inoculum levels including 250+250, 500, 500+250, 750, 500+500 and 1000 second stage juveniles of meloidogyne javanica were evaluated on a susceptible variety named jolgeh. the results showed that all inoculum levels were suitable for infection on sugar beet pla...

The present study is based on the investigation of a soil hyphomyces, Paecilomyces lilacinus, an opportunistic bio-control agent, in controlling root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica on tomato in greenhouse conditions. P. lilacinus, effectively promoted the growth of plants inoculated with M. javanica by suppressing its pathogenesis as root galling by the nematode and egg mass production was ...

To determine the presence and level of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) infestation in Southern California bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) fields, soil and root samples were collected in April and May 2012 and analyzed for the presence of root-knot nematodes. The earlier samples were virtually free of root-knot nematodes, but the later samples all contained, sometimes very high numbers, of r...
