Figure 1:
(A) Population density and (B) frequency of occurrence (%) of plant-parasitic nematode genera associated with peanuts in Ismailia Governorate during the 2021-2022 growing seasons. Bars followed by different values are significantly different according to the DMRT.
Figure 3:
Number of pods per plant, pod weight and number of nodules per plant of different peanut cultivars (Giza 5, Giza 6, Ismailia 1 and Ismailia 2) infected with Meloidogyne arenaria. Bars with different letters are significantly different according to the DMRT.
Figure 2:
Shoot length, root length, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight and root dry weight of different peanut cultivars (Giza 5, Giza 6, Ismailia 1 and Ismailia 2) infected with Meloidogyne arenaria. Bars with different letters are significantly different according to the DMRT.
Figure 4:
Numbers of galls, egg masses/root system, and final nematode populations (J2s) in different organic amendment treatment groups in peanuts infected with Meloidogyne arenaria. Bars with different letters are significantly different according to DMRT.
Figure 5:
Plant growth parameters of peanuts infected with Meloidogyne arenaria in different treatment groups, including cattle manure, compost, fulvic acid, cattle manure + compost, cattle manure + fulvic acid, compost+ fulvic acid, control (nematode only) and nematicide (fosthiazate 10G) treatments. Bars with different letters are significantly different according to DMRT.
Figure 6:
Metabolic enzymes (PPO, CAT, PAL, chitinase and β-1,3 glucanase) and total phenolics in the leaves of peanuts infected with Meloidogyne arenaria in different treatment groups. Bars with different letters are significantly different according to the DMRT.
Figure 7:
The blue/red heatmaps present the interactions between the studied variables. The blue color indicates a positive direct correlation, the red color indicates a negative inverse correlation, and the white color indicates no correlation. The gray boxed colors indicate significant correlations according to a 2-tailed significance test.
