Abundance and diversity of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with watermelon in Nigeria, with focus on Meloidogyne spp.
(Brill, 2020)Little information is available for nematode pests associated with watermelon in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This study recorded the abundance and prevalence of plant-parasitic nematodes from 25 localities across south-west ... -
Bacillus-based bionematicides: development, modes of action and commercialisation
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Agricultural crops are severely damaged by root-knot nematodes causing extensive financial losses globally. Historically, agrochemicals have been the preferred method to combat these pests; however, threats to humans and ... -
Direct nematicidal effects of methyl jasmonate and acibenzolar-S-methyl against Meloidogyne incognita
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)The aim of this study was to examine the nematicidal properties of two defence inducers against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. A direct-contact bioassay was applied to evaluate the nematicidal effects of ... -
Greenhouse and field evaluations of commonly occurring weed species for their host suitability to Meloidogyne species
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Since weeds serve as hosts for nematode pests, the host status of 20 weed species (commonly occurring in fields of developing farmers) to Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica, respectively, were investigated. Greenhouse ... -
Indications of variation in host suitability to root knot nematode populations in commercial tomato varieties
(Academic journals, 2012)The host suitability of 21 local, commercial tomato varieties were evaluated in concurrent greenhouse trials for resistance to Meloidogyne incognita race 2 and Meloidogyne javanica, respectively. M. incognita race-2-resistance ... -
Occurrence and pathogenicity of plant-parasitic nematodes on commonly grown banana cultivars in South Africa
(Organization Trop Amer Nematologists, 2015)A preliminary and limited nematode survey was conducted in the three main banana-producing areas of South Africa, namely Onderberg, Hazyview (both in Mpumalanga Province), and the South Coast of Kwazulu/ Natal Province. ... -
Population responses of plant-parasitic nematodes in selected crop rotations over five seasons in organic cotton production
(Organization Trop Amer Nematologists, 2015)Crops with resistance or tolerance to the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita race 4, were evaluated for management of plant-parasitic nematodes in organic cotton production for five consecutive seasons. During the ... -
Reproductive potential of South African thermophilic Meloidogyne populations, with special reference to Meloidogyne enterolobii
(Brill, 2019)Variability in the reproductive potential of Meloidogyne spp. is crucial to design suitable nematode management strategies. The reproductive potential of nine South African single-species Meloidogyne populations, M. ...
