The primary purpose of this study was to explore yield stability common vetch varieties based on the index, with a specific aim exploring variety behavior regarding legumes under both conventional and low-input cultivation systems. Six (Vicia sativa L.), namely, cv. Filippos, Omiros, Alexandros, Tempi, Zefyros Pigasos, were used. conducted using strip-plot design six randomized within each plot...

This study has been conducted to determine genetic diversity of the common vetch lines and cultivars by using pairwise combinations universal rice primers (URPs). A total number 37 URP marker pairs were tested twenty those provided amplicons in genome. The amplified markers a 83 bands 62 them determined as polymorphic scattered whole average polymorphism rate was calculated 73.5% while informat...

The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita was controlled more effectively and yields of host plants were greater when Paecilomyces lilacinus and Pasteuria penetrans were applied together in field microplots than when either was applied alone. Yields of winter vetch from microplots inoculated with the nematode and with both organisms were not statistically different from yields from uninocula...

The ability of Meloidogyne trifoliophila to gall 230 species and cultivars of plants was determined in a greenhouse. All clovers (Trifolium spp.) were severely galled regardless of species or cultivar. Most soybean cultivars were moderately to severely galled. Among other legumes, broad bean, garden pea, Korean lespedeza, sweetclover, and common vetch were good hosts, but alfalfa, bird's-foot t...

Seventeen leguminous species common to the Pacific Northwest were evaluated as potential hosts of the pea cyst nematode, Heterodera goettingiana, in both greenhouse and field experiments. In all experiments, juveniles of H. goettingiana penetrated roots of these 17 species with the exception of greenhouse-grown chickpea. Nematodes molted and developed into swollen third-stage or fourth-stage ju...

Two experiments were conducted in north-central Florida to examine the effects of various winter cover crops on plant-parasitic nematode populations through time. In the first experiment, six winter cover crops were rotated with summer corn (Zea mays), arranged in a randomized complete block design. The cover crops evaluated were wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale), oat (Avena sativ...
