Meloidogyne incognita is a common root-knot nematode with a wide range of plant hosts. We aimed to study the metabolites produced at each stage of the nematode life cycle to understand its development. Metabolites of Meloidogyne incognita were extracted at egg, J2, J3, J4, and female stages and 110 metabolites with available standards were quantified using CE-TOF/MS. Analyses indicated abundanc...

First Report of Root-Knot Nematode Meloidogyne hapla (Chitwood, 1949) (Nematoda: Meloidogynidae) on Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Nym. ex A.W. Hill) in Turkey
 ABSTRACT
 Parsley (Petroselinum crispum), a vegetable whose leaves are consumed, is taxonomomically positioned the Apiaceae family. The origin parsley known as Mediterranean Region. In Turkey, it cultivated extensively and Aegea...

A simple and applicable technique was developed for the detection of soil infestation with rice rootknot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola by farmers themselves at their fields. The collected soil samples from root-knot nematode infested fields were diluted by adding sterilized sand in the ratio of 1: 1, 1: 3, 1: 7, 1: 15, 1: 31 and 1: 63 and sown with sprouted rice seeds (cv MUT 7029) for dete...

Millet, milo, soybean, crotalaria, and Norman pigeon pea were used in conjunction with clean fallow and a nematicide (fensulfothion) for managing nematode populations in the production of tomato transplants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Glean fallow was the most effective treatment in suppressing nematode numbers. After 2 years in tomato, root-knot nematodes increased in numbers to damaging ...

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 reproductive potential of Meloidogyne graminicola was compared with that of M. incognita on Trifolium species in greenhouse studies. Twenty-five Trifolium plant introductions, cultivars, or populations representing 23 species were evaluated for nematode reproduction and root galling 45 days after inoculation with 3,000 eggs of M. graminicola or M. incognita. Root galling and egg production ...

Trichoderma sp. is one of the endophytic fungi, which is produce toxic culturefiltrate against plant pathogen e.g plant parasitic nematode. Experiments were conducted to in vitro bioassays of the antagonistic effects of culturefiltrate produced by endophytic fungi Trichoderma sp. in different medium on mobility and mortality of Meloidogyne-J2. Three different medium of culturfiltrate were inves...

Breeding programs aiming at developing new nematode-resistant rootstocks are important because current rootstocks with adequate nematode resistance tend to have other undesirable viticultural characteristics (excessive vigor, excessive potassium uptake, poor resistance to phylloxera, rooting difficulty, inadequate zinc absorption). In this paper the authors develop a technique for evaluating re...

The root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) was reported to cause severe damage in guava cultivation in Malaysia. Several long term approaches were taken to find sustainable control for the root knot nematode through breeding. The approaches include protocol development to screen nematode resistance in Psidium species, genetic resource establishment in the field, screening of accessions agai...

Greenhouse tests were conducted to determine the effects of two kinds of Meloidogyne hapla inoculum on the growth and quality of carrot roots, and the protection afforded in each case by nonfumigant nematicides in organic soils. For all treatments the percentage of carrots damaged was greater with larvae alone as inoculum than with larvae and eggs, indicating that most of the damage occurs earl...
