Hot-water dips with and without the additives abamectin and sodium hypochlorite were evaluated for control of Ditylenchus dipsaci infection of garlic seed cloves. All treatments were compared to hot water-formalin clove dip disinfection and to nontreated infected controls for garlic emergence, midseason infection, bulb damage, and yield at harvest in field plots in 12 experiments. Hot-water tre...

Garlic bulb rot disease was found from garlics (Allium sativum L.) cultivated 2017 to 2019 by farmers in Central Java Province, Indonesia. The initial symptoms of the were stunted, leaf yellowing, and necrotizing rotten bulbs. This research conducted determine major causal agent garlic Java. A survey carried out five regencies across that garlic-producing areas. Nematodes isolated using water i...

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of plant confinement, soil type, watering practices, stage of seed germination, inoculum level, and method of applying inoculum on stem nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) infection of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) seedlings grown in soil. Results indicated that (i) confining seedlings together with the nematodes in small vials offered no advantage ove...

Five field trials were conducted in Italy in 1983 and 1984 to test the efficacy of isazofos and benfuracarb in controlling Heterodera carotae on carrot, Ditylenchus dipsaci on onion, and Meloidogyne javanica on tomato. Methyl isothiocyanate (MIT) was tested against H. carotae and M. javanica. Single (10 kg a.i./ha) and split (5 + 5 kg a.i./ha) applications of isazofos gave yield increases of ca...

the stem and bulb nematode, ditylenchus dipsaci (kühn, 1875) filipjev, 1936 is one the most destructive plant-parasitic nematode which is widely distributed in temperate regions of the world. it is a serious pest on a wide range of crops including lucerne, red clover, sugar beet, maize, onion, garlic, strawberry and many other agricultural and horticultural plants, especially flower bulbs such ...

Population dynamics of A. ritzemabosi and D. dipsaci were studied in two alfalfa fields in Wyoming. Symptomatic stem-bud tissue and root-zone soil from alfalfa plants exhibiting symptoms of D. dipsaci infection were collected at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks. Both nematodes were extracted from stem tissue with the Baermann funnel method and from soil with the sieving and Baermann funnel method. Soi...
