In our continuing search for biologically active natural enemies from North of Africa with special reference to Tunisian fungi, teamwork screened fungi different ecological habitats in Tunisia. Our previous study on the comparative effectiveness filamentous biocontrol Meloidogyne javanica, a taxon (Lecanicillium) showed high potentiality against M. javanica. We undertook present evaluate ability and understand mechanism this fungal parasite as biological control candidate root-knot nematode...
The nematicidal potential of five filamentous fungi as biological control agents (BCAs) against the root-knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne javanica, infecting tomato was assessed in vitro and pot experiments. promising native taxa, namely Trichoderma longibrachiatum, T. harzainum, asperellum, Lecanicillium spp., Metacordyceps chlamydosporia, were selected to compare their effectiveness both chemical (Mocap, 10% ethoprophos) (abamectin) nematicides on M. javanica reproduction indices plant...
The present study was carried out to assess the nematicidal potential of Punica granatum L. against root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica responsible for yield losses in tomato. Varied concentrations methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous extracts from pomegranate peels were investigated activity eggs juveniles M. vitro assays. All used significantly inhibited egg hatch by over than 75%, but viability second-stage (J2) not extract. Aqueous extract assessed at concentration 10, 25 50% on tomato...
Spiral nematode species of the genus Rotylenchus have been reported on olive (Olea europaea L.) in several Mediterranean countries (Castillo et al., 2010; Ali 2014). Nematological surveys for plant-parasitic nematodes trees were carried out Tunisia between 2013 and 2014, two collected from rhizosphere cv. Chemlali localities (Tables 1,2 [Table: see text] ). Twenty-two soil samples 3 to 4 kg with a shovel upper 50 cm arbitrarily chosen trees. Nematodes extracted 500 cm3 by centrifugal...
The response of a susceptible tomato cultivar (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Rio Grande) to infection by three populations root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) was compared histologically with that Lycopersicon esculentum Monita, L. VFN8 and Solanum Nemador possessing the Mi-1 resistance gene accession PI126443 peruvianum Mi-3 gene. resistant cultivars showed susceptibility Tunisian Meloidogyne populations. Feeding sites were characterised development giant cells contained granular...
Considerable losses of apple trees seedling were observed in many nurseries Tunisia. From November 2012 to December 2013, surveys conducted 10 apples nurseries, and samples roots collected from seedlings showing decline symptoms. The isolation the morphological molecular identification (using ITS1 ITS4) obtained isolates revealed presence Fusarium oxysporum (111 isolates), solani (55 equiseti (4 isolates) one isolate F. proliferatum. isolated all surveyed nurseries.
