verticillium wilt verticillium dahliae is now a days commonplace in olive orchards in north of iran. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, as well is one of the most widely disseminated plant parasitic nematodes in olive orchards of iran. this study was arranged to find the effects of two sets of pot beds on these pathogens' interaction. microsclerotia of verticillium dahliae and j2s o...

Observations of the reaction of plants to the root-knot nematode of western Nebraska indicated a narrower host range than previously reported in other areas. Neal (8) *, Atkinson (1) and others (2, 10, 14) reported conflicting evidence on the reaction of plants to this pathogen. Tyler (14) recorded an extensive list of plants and their reaction to the nematode. Since then additional hosts have ...

cots in the family Commeliaceae. The basic morphology of these plants appears to favor root-knot nematode development in aboveground plant parts. Leaves of both plants develop in the crown near the soil; they are large, 20-30 cm long, and densely arranged so that nematodes on younger leaves are protected from direct solar irradiation. The dense pubescent foliage, especially the convoluted young...

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, genus Meloidogyne) are a class of plant parasites that seek out and infect the roots many species. The identification RKN attractants can be used in agriculture conjunction with nematode-trapping technology to redirect movements eventually reduce their prevalence field. Here, we discovered some commercial silica gels attract nematodes. Silica contain calcium sulfate. ...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is among the most valuable agricultural products, but Meloidogyne spp. (root-knot nematode) infestations result in serious crop losses. In tomato, resistance to root-knot nematodes is controlled by the gene Mi-1, but heat stress interferes with Mi-1-associated resistance. Inconsistent results in published field and greenhouse experiments led us to test the effec...

Cotton farmers in Missouri commonly apply a single rate of aldicarb throughout the field at planting to protect their crop from Meloidogyne incognita, even though these nematodes are spatially aggregated. Our purpose was to determine the effect of site-specific application of aldicarb on cotton production in a field infested with these nematodes in 1997 and 1998. Cotton yields were collected fr...

Meloidogyne incognita can be effectively managed through biological control agents. The present study on the bio-intensive management of M. blackgram with bio-agents, viz. Bacillus marisflavi, altitudinis, subtilis, Trichoderma viride, Verticillium lecanii and Pseudomonas fluorescens as soil application was carried out under net house conditions at Department Nematology, Assam Agricultural Univ...

root-knot nematodes (meloidogyne spp.) are among the most important groups of plant-parasitic nematodes, causing damage and yield losses to most cultivated plants. the bacterium pseudomonas fluorescens cha0 and the fungus trichoderma harzianum bi were investigated for biological control capability and systemic induction of resistance against the nematode m. javanica under glasshouse conditions....
