Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV, Bromoviridae: Cucummovirus), one of the most widespread plant viruses with several hosts, causes huge losses in yield quality and quantity. The occurrence various CMV strains high genetic diversity within complicate its management. We describe population structure Nigeria using partial RNA1 RNA3 gene sequences from three natural hosts: pepper (Capsicum annuum), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). One hundred six leaf samples were...
Vegetables are infected by root knot nematodes, especially Meloidogyne incognita, which results in both quantitative and qualitative losses. This study’s objective was to assess the effectiveness of plant extracts from Senna alata Tamarindus indica controlling cabbage-infecting nematodes. The experiment carried out determine effect aqueous powdered T. S. on control nematodes two cabbage varieties. test plants underwent phytochemical screening. Data were gathered height, shoot weight, yield...
