Abstract In Europe, root-knot nematodes are increasingly important. Out of more than 90 Meloidogyne species currently described, 23 have been found on the continent. cooler climates, hapla, M. naasi, chitwoodi and fallax prevalent. arenaria, javanica incognita most common in warmer conditions southern but also glasshouses northern Europe. Morphological identification is difficult time consuming; therefore, many research groups developing molecular techniques for species. quarantine organisms...
The encounter between Meloidogyne species and tomato is many centuries old. are known to cause high levels of economic loss worldwide in a multitude agricultural crops, including tomato. This review was initiated provide an overview the damage potential spp. on cultivars ( Solanum lycopersicum ), compile different studies done management with particular emphasis Mi resistance gene. Numerous have been conducted assess root-knot nematode various cultivars; its yield ranges from 25 100%. A...
The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita presents a serious threat to high-value crops in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly Ethiopia, causing substantial yield quality losses. Vermicompost, whether applied solid form or as an extract, has shown promise managing nematodes (RKNs). However, its effectiveness is influenced by factors such the type of vermicompost, application rate, composition parasitic communities soil. This study utilized selected vermicomposts at varying...
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a significant legume crop, with Ethiopia being the largest producer in Africa and fifth globally (FAO 2022). However, various factors, including plant-parasitic nematodes, reduce its yield. Among these, root-knot nematodes (RKN; Meloidogyne spp.) pose severe threat by causing root galling stunted growth (Castillo et al. 2008). Despite impact, research on their diversity effect chickpea yield limited (Kefelegn 2024). In 2021, survey was conducted to assess of...
Laboratory assays using artificial diet demonstrated that tebufenozide (RH-5992) and the new structural analogue, RH-2485 (proposed common name methoxyfenozide), possess strong ecdysone-like activity against last-instar larvae of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, cotton leafworm, littoralis, leading to precocious lethal moulting. LC50 values showed (0.38 mg AI litre−1) was about twice (0.60 in S. whereas littoralis respective were 1.15 litre−1 9.51 litre−1. The retention-fate curves...
Abstract In the Belgian provinces Antwerp and Limburg, root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne chitwoodi, is widespread. These regions are important production areas of carrot, Daucus carota, for processing industry. Nineteen carrot cultivars were screened potential resistance M. chitwoodi. Egg masses chitwoodi found on all cultivars. However, there no egg more than 80% plants cvs Berlanda, Bolero, Chantenay, Nantucket Parmex. By contrast, ABK, Douceur, Maxi Merida formed tested plants. To gain...
Meloidogyne minor is a root-knot nematode reported in Belgium, Ireland, The Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom, Chile and the States. It found sport fields golf courses where it causes yellow patch disease. However, M. has also been detected potato Netherlands UK may pose threat for cultivation. Therefore, life cycle damage of on cv. Bintje were examined under controlled conditions. To assess its cycle, young plants inoculated with freshly hatched second-stage juveniles (J2)....
The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is a major pest in tomato production. Paenibacillus polymyxa, which primarily found soil and colonizing roots, considered successful biocontrol organism against many pathogens. To evaluate the capacity of P. polymyxa LMG27872 M. incognita tomato, experiments were conducted both vitro vivo. A dose-response effect [30, 50, 100% (108 CFU/mL)] bacterial suspensions (BSs) on growth susceptibility to with drenching as mode application was first...
Abstract The root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne chitwoodi and M. fallax, cause severe damage to economically important crops and, in 1998, both species were listed as quarantine pests Europe. Comparative studies made on the effects of root diffusates host age vitro hatching fallax. There is a marked contrast response two species. Hatching second-stage juveniles (J2) produced young plants did not require diffusate stimulus, whereas at end plant growing season, egg masses contained percentage...
Summary Management strategies applied to reduce Meloidogyne chitwoodi populations below economic damage threshold depend strongly on measures taken during the intercrop period. Therefore, this study evaluated reproductive potentials of M. different cultivars cover crops. Twenty-two were against at low and high initial inoculum density in a pot experiment under controlled conditions. Fallow was used as control. Based factor, crops classified five categories: Non-host, Poor host, Maintenance...
An important part of the production area common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Belgium is located on sandy soils provinces Antwerp and Limburg where Meloidogyne chitwoodi (Golden), M. fallax (Karssen) hapla (Chitwood) are present. The host plant status ten cultivars for root-knot nematodes was determined by evaluating penetration, development egg mass formation after inoculation with second-stage juveniles.The tested were poor to good hosts chitwoodi, non-hosts or bad excellent hapla....
Summary Chickpea is one of the most important legume crops in Ethiopia; however, its production far below mean international chickpea due to biotic and abiotic stressors. Plant-parasitic nematode infestation extensive chickpea-growing areas worldwide. The distribution population density plant-parasitic nematodes were determined during September-December 2021 growing season. Ten taxa identified from 27 localities across ten districts main Ethiopia. Pratylenchus had highest prominence values,...
Summary Finger millet ( Eleusine coracana ) is a staple crop for subsistence farmers and primarily cultivated in arid semi-arid regions. Nevertheless, there are limited data available on the occurrence of plant-parasitic nematodes that specifically target finger millet, damage arising from such infections. In this study, we investigated population dynamics, threshold tolerance lesion nematode, Pratylenchus n. sp., root-knot Meloidogyne javanica , ‘P-224’. We used 11 initial densities P i...
We analyzed the effects of diffusates from six different crops on egg hatching Meloidogyne chitwoodi collected young and senescing tomato plants using a non-linear model. Diffusates only carrot significantly delayed eggs plants, but did not do so suggesting that delay depends origin host plant age.
