The plant parasitic root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp. are a devastating threat to agriculture. urgent need search for alternative nematode control methods that less environmentally toxic is demanding challenge secure the increasing global food demand. Therefore, we combined chemical and biological strategies evaluate their management potential on incognita infested tomatoes. To determine effect of nematicides Velum Purpureocillium lilacinum strain 251 formulated as wettable granulate...
Nematodes are numerous in soils and play a crucial role soil food-webs. DNA metabarcoding offers time-effective alternative to morphology-based assessments of nematode diversity. However, it is unclear how different extraction methods prior could affect community analysis. We used with woody vegetation from European latitudinal gradient (29 sites, 39 79°N, ∼4500 km, covering six biomes) systematically evaluate the effect two sources either directly extracted vs. nematodes previously isolated...
Foliar nematodes represent a minor feeding group within the genus Aphelenchoides Fischer, 1894. The facultative plant parasitic species A. blastophthorus can cause crinkling of leaves, reduced vigor, and stunting agricultural ornamental plants. Here we report first finding in crowns, roots strawberry plants collected Switzerland 2018. Species identification was confirmed by morphological morphometric characterization supported molecular barcoding 18S ribosomal RNA (18S), 28S (28S),...
