ABSTRACT Among the efficient strategies to manage plant parasitic nematodes, use of resistant cultivars stands out for being frequently easiest and least expensive approach that can be adopted by farmers. However, common bean, in Brazil, few sources resistance have been identified so far. This study aimed assess reaction 81 bean genotypes most abundant harmful nematode species Brazilian crop fi...

The effect of tillage intensity on nematode community trophic structure and the role of nematodes in the regulation of decomposition rates in agroecosystems were examined. Conventional (CT) and no-tillage (NT) agroecosystems were sampled monthly for 1 year. Tillage affected nematode trophic structure and total abundance. Monthly mean densities of bacterivorous, fungivorous, and total nematodes ...
