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 ... -
Comparison of the penetration, development and reproduction of Meloidogyne javanica and M. graminicola on partially resistant Oryza sativa cultivars from East Africa
(Brill, 2020)The host response to Meloidogyne javanica infection of selected Oryza sativa and NERICA (New Rice for Africa) genotypes that are commonly grown in Tanzania and East Africa was examined. The O. sativa genotypes ‘Komboka’ ... -
Examine medicinal plants from South Africa for suppression of Meloidogyne incognita under glasshouse conditions
(Society of Nematologists, 2020)The nematicidal activity of crudely milled powders of stems, leaves, and bulbs of Cassia abbreviata, Cissus cactiformis, Euphorbia ingens, Ipomoea kituiensis, Synadenium cupulare, Senna petersiana, Urigenia sanguinea, ... -
The host status of Amaranthus spp. genotypes to Meloidogyne spp. and verification of resistance in genotype Thohoyandou
(Elsevier, 2019)African leafy vegetables (ALVs) play a crucial role in substituting the diets and household income of local people. Production of ALVs is, however, hampered by plant-parasitic nematodes, particularly Meloidogyne spp. The ... -
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 ... -
Molecular characterisation of Meloidogyne enterolobii and other Meloidogyne spp. from South Africa
(Springer, 2019)Identification of Meloidogyne spp. is challenging when using only the classical techniques since some species share similar characteristics. In this study, 37 Meloidogyne populations were obtained from four provinces in ...
