in order to identify the plant parasitic nematodes of tomato fields in northern khorasan province, 50 soil and root samples were collected during 2009 - 2010. nematodes were extracted by combined sieving and centrifugal-flotation method and processed to be transferred to glycerin. after preparing microscope slides, the morphological and morphometrical characters of the nematodes were studied us...

Abstract Three concentrations (1.25, 2.5, and 5 × 10 7 spores ml −1 ) (of the biocontrol fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum (strain AUMC 10620) were tested on citrus nematode Tylenchulus semipenetrans under in vitro field conditions. Larvae eggs exposed to fungal for 24, 48, 72 h, findings recorded at each time point. These results compared with application of nematicide abamectin. Strain 10620 e...

One hundred and nine soil samples were collected in 69 different localities along two transects, one North– South, about 900 km in length, and the other East–West (750 km in length), across Senegal and Gambia. The first transect followed a rainfall gradient and the second a human density gradient. The relationship between carbon content, C/N ratio and soil type on the abundance and species dist...

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...

In this study, we aimed to determine the nematode diversity in soils from olive orchards İzmir, Manisa, Çanakkale, and Balıkesir provinces. For purpose, a survey was carried out 2021-2022; each orchard, soil samples were collected 0-60 cm depth, nematodes extracted by modified Baermann Funnel method. Thirty-seven genera of (Achromodora, Acrobeles, Acrobeloides, Alaimus, Aphelenchus, Aphelenchoi...

A survey of the nematodes in blackberry (Rubus sp.) rhizospheres was conducted in Arkansas from 1986 to 1989. The state was divided arbitrarily into four quadrants. A total of 134 soil samples was collected, and 150-cm 3 subsamples were assayed for nematodes. Twenty-one species of plant-parasitic nematodes in 11 genera were extracted from the samples. There were differences (P = 0.05) among qua...

Direct-seeded rice (DSR) can be a resource-efficient alternative to puddled transplanted (PTR), but weeds and nematodes pose severe challenges. Conservation agriculture (CA)-based DSR may inhibit/influence weeds/nematodes, which further intensified by adopting better weed control. Hence, this experiment was undertaken. Five CA-based practices involving zero tillage, residue retention, brown man...

Nematode occurrence at specific locations throughout a water catchment-irrigation system was determined. Soil samples were collected from five water source locations on the slopes of Olomana Mountain and Maunawili Valley and from about 40 plant species on 18 farms (56 ha of 480 ha irrigated by the reservoir). Water was sampled from the catchment reservoir at 0.3 m, 9 m, and 18 m (bottom). A far...

In this experiment, 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 ml of each oil dissolved in 1 ml of 95 % ethanol was added to 1 kg of soil containing 370 P. penetrans per kg, and incorporated by shaking. After 10 days at 22 ± 3 C, a four-week-old tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv. Bonny Best) seedling was planted in each of six 5-cm-diam plastic pots containing 100 g of treated or untreated infested soi...
