Abstract Background Acceptable alternative eco-friendly tools in the present study were tested to control root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita , on greenhouse-cultivated vegetables. The nematicidal effect of rhizobacteria ( Pseudomonas and Serratia ), egg parasitic fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum abamectin Streptomyces avermitilis 3 botanicals (colocynth, Citrullus colocynthis ; moringa, ...

Population of Soil Nematodes in The Treatment Brassicaceae Plant Waste plants are known to contain glucosinolates which can be hydrolyzed into biofumigant compounds. This research was conducted examine the effect derived from waste on soil nematode population dynamics. Greenhouse experiment carried out 4 types waste, consisting leaf radish (Raphanus sativus), broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. it...

The complex parasitic strategy of Meloidogyne incognita appears to involve simultaneous expression of its pharyngeal gland-specific effector genes in order to colonize the host plants. Research reports related to effector crosstalk in phytonematodes for successful parasitism of the host tissue is yet underexplored. In view of this, we have used in planta effector screening approach to understan...

Endoparasitic root-knot (Meloidogyne spp.) and lesion (Pratylenchus spp.) nematodes cause considerable damage in agriculture. Before they invade roots to complete their life cycle, soil microbes can attach to their cuticle or surface coat and antagonize the nematode directly or by induction of host plant defenses. We investigated whether the nematode-associated microbiome in soil differs betwee...

The relative susceptibility of 44 genotypes of wild Fragaria L. and commercial cultivars of strawberry Fragaria ×ananassa Duch. to Meloidogyne hapla Chitwood and Pratylenchus penetrans (Cobb) Filipjev & Shuurmans Stekhoven was evaluated in the greenhouse. Eleven genotypes were highly resistant to populations of M. hapla from Washington State and Oregon, with Rf values (initial nematode density/...

In vitro tests were carried out on the pathogenicity of nine isolates of the predatory fungi of the genus Monacrosporium (5 M. sinense isolates, 3 M. appendiculatum and 1 M. thaumasium isolate) for a phytonematode (second stage juveniles from Meloidogyne incognita, race 3), a free-living nematode (Panagrellus spp), and two gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes of cattle (infective larvae of Coop...
