Methyl bromide is an effective pre-plant soil fumigant used to control nematodes in many high-input, high-value crops in the United States, including vegetables, nursery plants, ornamentals, tree fruits, strawberries, and grapes. Because methyl bromide has provided a reliable return on investment for nematode control, many of these commodities have standardized their production practices based ...

The purpose of this review is to highlight key developments in nematode ecology from its beginnings to where it stands today as a discipline within nematology. Emerging areas of research appear to be driven by crop production constraints, environmental health concerns, and advances in technology. In contrast to past ecological studies which mainly focused on management of plant-parasitic nemato...

Florida leads the commercial production of caladiums, a popular ornamental. In Florida, root-knot, sting, and stubby root nematodes are found in caladium fields. Root-knot considered most important all pests caladiums that grown sand. This publication will help growers understand what plant-parasitic current nematode management strategies for industry.

The present study is based on the investigation of a soil hyphomyces, Paecilomyces lilacinus, an opportunistic bio-control agent, in controlling root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica on tomato in greenhouse conditions. P. lilacinus, effectively promoted the growth of plants inoculated with M. javanica by suppressing its pathogenesis as root galling by the nematode and egg mass production was ...

The species of the genus Meloidogyne are globally distributed and generally induce formation galls or nodules in roots a wide variety plants, due to this; this nematode is known as "Root knot nematode". affected plants show loss turgidity leaves, chlorosis withering, which leads reduction crop yields. In Ecuador, presence several root has been registered, wild cultivated plants. For diagnosis, ...

systemic induction of peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase in tomato roots and stem followed by application of split root system method was investigated. root system of tomato seedling in the sixth growth stage were divided in two equal sections after washing and replanted in two adjacent pots and then inoculated with nematode and fungus as fallowing treatments. the second treatment was inoculation...
