Antagonistic microbes for the management of Cosmopolites sordidus and Radopholus similis in East African bananas
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)The East African highland banana (EAHB, Musa spp.) is a key staple in East and Central Africa (ECA), where they provide up to 60% of total calorie consumed per capita. Banana production has declined since the 1970s, with ... -
Characterization of wheat nematodes from cultivars in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) naturally live in soil and attack small roots, but some species inhabit and feed in bulbs, buds, stems, leaves, or flowers. This leads to plant weakness and they often appear to suffer from ... -
Exploitation and characterisation of resistance to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita in soybean
(2013)Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) is a major pest of soybean in South Africa and due to its high level of pathogenicity to the crop it is quintessential that research in this regard should receive priority. Root-knot ... -
Nematode biodiversity in south-western Nigerian watermelon cropping systems, with reference to Meloidogyne and its management
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Watermelon is increasingly produced and consumed in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, limited information exists regarding the nematode fauna associated with the crop. Therefore, the overall aim of this study ... -
Nematode fauna in the Telperion Nature Reserve
(North-West University, 2019)The Nematology Unit, Biosystematics, Agricultural Research Council—Plant Health and Protection (ARC—PHP) founded the South African Plant-Parasitic Nematode Survey (SAPPNS) in 1987. The aim of the SAPPNS was to make a ... -

Soybean host status to Meloidogyne incognita and nematode biodiversity in local soybean cropping systems
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2018., 2018)Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the major nematode pests of local soybean crops, resulting in up to 100 % yield losses. The host response of locally adapted soybean genotypes to the predominant Meloidogyne ...
