Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus L., Moench] a native of South-Africa and commonly known as ‘Bhindi’ is an annual malvaceous vegetable crop, especially grown in tropical subtropical climates. It also called “perfect villager’s vegetable”. Root-knot nematodes are considered among the top five major plant pathogens first ten most important genera parasitic world. Amongst nematodes, root-knot nematode...

Root-knot nematode is one of the significant plant-parasitic nematodes in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Considering its destructive potential, studies were carried out on effect organic amendments and their integration with chemicals upon root-knot pots (2016–17) infested field (2017–18), at research farm Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab. Among amendments, mustard cake treatmen...

Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) yield is limited by several factors, including soil pathogens, such as Rotylenchulus reniformis (the reniform nematode) and Meloidogyne incognita Southern root-knot nematode). Understanding the behavior of different cultivars, within species passion could be important asset to search for sources resistance, therefore effective management phytonematodes. ...

the chemical compound dl-?-amino-n-butyric acid (baba) has been introduced as a promoter of induction of resistance in plants against plant pathogens. in this study, promotion of induction of some such defense compounds as peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase enzymes through dl-?-amino-n-butyric acid application against root knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) was investigated in cucumber. result...

Root-knot nematode is an important pest in agricultural production worldwide. Crop rotation is the only management strategy in some production systems, especially for resource poor farmers in developing countries. A series of experiments was conducted in the laboratory with several leguminous cover crops to investigate their potential for managing a mixture of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne a...

Organic soil amendments have been employed as an alternative to or in combination with, chemical nematicides and cultural practices to control plant-parasitic nematodes. Rye (Secale cereale L.) has been shown to be effective in minimizing the damage caused by root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood) when grown as a cover crop and then incorporated into the soil pr...

Root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) is one of the most destructive plant parasitic nematode species in almost all agriculture horticulture crops Sri Lanka. Biologically sound controlling measures against this has been attempted from long past with ambiguous efficacy. This paper highlights nemato-toxic potential crude leaf extract Annona glabra, extracellular metabolites...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Knowledge of host factors affecting plant-nematode interactions is scarce. Here, relevant interaction phenotypes between a nodulating model host, Lotus japonicus, and the endoparasitic root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita are assessed via a genetic screen. METHODS Within an alpha experimental design, 4-week-old replicate plants from 60 L. japonicus ecotypes were inocul...

Pasteuria penetrans isolate P-20 has been attributed as the cause of soil suppressiveness to peanut root-knot nematode in Florida. In this study, P. penetrans was transferred from a suppressive site to a new site and established by growing susceptible hosts to the peanut root-knot nematode during both summer and winter seasons. When two soil fumigants, 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and chloropicr...
