Comparative cellular responses in susceptible and resistant soybean cultivars infected by Meloidogyne incognita
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2013)
Meloidogyne incognita, a predominant nematode parasite of soybean in South Africa, increasingly threatens production
of the crop as it is expanding to maize-producing areas infected by this nematode. The parasitic ...
Butlerius butleri Goodey, 1929 (Rhabditida) from Iran with the phylogenetic position of the species
(Society of Nematologists, 2015)
A population of Butlerius butleri Goodey, 1929 was isolated from vermicompost in Kerman in the Kerman Province of Iran
during a nematode survey that was conducted during 2014. This population of B. butleri is characterized ...
Nematodes of the Wonderfontein Cave (Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa)
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2015)
Although the importance of nematodes, especially in soil ecosystems, is well appreciated, very little is known about the occurrence of and ecosystem services provided by cavernicolous nematodes. This study was undertaken ...
Ditylenchus sarvarae sp. n. (Tylenchina: Anguinidae) from Iran
(Magnolia Press, 2018)
During a survey of soil nematodes in Iran, a new species of Ditylenchus Filipjev, 1936 was discovered. Ditylenchus sarvarae sp. n. is characterised by its body length (1.0–1.4 mm), lateral field with seven incisures and ...
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 ...
Host suitability of selected South African maize genotypes to the root-knot nematode species Meloidogyne incognita race 2 and Meloidogynejavanica: a preliminary study
(Scientific Publishing (NISC), 2011)
Thirty-one commercial maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids and open-pollinated varieties (OPV's) were screened in separate greenhouse trials with a resistant inbred line MP712W as reference genotype for host suitability to Meloidogyne ...
In vitro evaluations to determine the effect of Bacillus firmus strains on the motility of Meloidogyne incognita second-stage juveniles
(Springer, 2016)
Eco-friendly control strategies, such as biological agents containing Bacillus firmus, are known to adversely impact the biology of Meloidogyne incognita and other nematode pests that damage agricultural crops. The efficacy ...
Plant-parasitic nematodes associated with weeds in subsistence agriculture in South Africa
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2012)
Twenty-nine plant-parasitic nematode species belonging to 15 genera, as well as two fungus-feeding nematode genera
and one species, were identified from soil and root samples of weeds collected from 67 localities situated ...
Nematode pests threatening soybean production in South Africa, with reference to Meloidogyne
(AOSIS, 2015)
The area planted to soybean in South Africa has increased by 54% since the 2009 growing season, mainly
as a result of the increasing demand for protein-rich food and fodder sources. Moreover, the introduction
of advanced ...
