Root-knot nematode is one of the significant plant-parasitic nematodes in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Considering its destructive potential, studies were carried out on effect organic amendments and their integration with chemicals upon root-knot pots (2016–17) infested field (2017–18), at research farm Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab. Among amendments, mustard cake treatmen...

the chemical compound dl-?-amino-n-butyric acid (baba) has been introduced as a promoter of induction of resistance in plants against plant pathogens. in this study, promotion of induction of some such defense compounds as peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase enzymes through dl-?-amino-n-butyric acid application against root knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) was investigated in cucumber. result...

Organic soil amendments have been employed as an alternative to or in combination with, chemical nematicides and cultural practices to control plant-parasitic nematodes. Rye (Secale cereale L.) has been shown to be effective in minimizing the damage caused by root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood) when grown as a cover crop and then incorporated into the soil pr...

Root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) is one of the most destructive plant parasitic nematode species in almost all agriculture horticulture crops Sri Lanka. Biologically sound controlling measures against this has been attempted from long past with ambiguous efficacy. This paper highlights nemato-toxic potential crude leaf extract Annona glabra, extracellular metabolites...

Root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is one of the main problems in vegetable-growing regions, decreasing yield quality and quantity worldwide. Root-knot nematode management tactics mostly involve chemical control which is a threat to the environment, consequences to human health. Biological control of nematodes is considered to be one of the best alternatives to the chemical control. In ...

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...

Fumigation for nematode management in irrigated potato production systems of Idaho is widely practiced. Soil injection is the only labeled application method for 1,3-dichloropropene that is conventionally applied on a whole-field basis. Plant-parasitic nematode species exhibit spatially variable population densities that provide an opportunity to practice site-specific fumigation to reduce chem...

The southern root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is a major parasite of cotton in the U.S., and management tactics for this nematode attempt to minimize population levels. We compared three post-harvest practices for their ability to reduce nematode population levels in the field, thereby reducing initial nematode population for the next year's crop. The three practices tested were: 1) c...

Root-knot nematodes belonging to the genus Meloidogyne are the most economically important group of plant-parasitic nematodes. Thei r worldwide distribution, extensive host ranges, and interaction with other plant pathogens in diseas e complexes rank them among the top plant pathogens affecting the world's food supply (5). Even though only four Meloidogyne species M. incognita, M. javanica, M. ...
