Effect of sugar beet plant residues on population density of root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infecting cowpea and biochemical changes in treated plants

M. M. A. Youssef, Wafaa M. A. El-Nagdi, Mona G. Dawood

Different sugar beet residues, fresh and dry leaves and mashed storage roots of sugar beet @20 and 10g were tested for controlling root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita on cowpea in screen house. On the basis of the average percentages nematode reduction,…

Efficiency of entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida) against Saccharococcus sacchari (Cockerell) (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) under laboratory conditions

Ahmed S.M.H. EL Roby

The objective of this study was to study the efficacy of four indigenous and one exotic isolated entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) against sugarcane mealybug Saccharococcus sacchari under laboratory conditions (27 ± 2 °C, RH 65 ± 10%). The EP…

Six species of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) (Steinernema feltiae, S. carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora) isolated from Turkey [S. feltiae (Aydin isolate), S. carpocapsae (Black sea isolate), H. bacteriophora (Aydin isolate) and H. bacteriophora…

Estimation of yield losses in broad bean due to Meloidogyne arenaria in Egypt

A. M. Korayem, M. M. M. Mohamed, S. M. El-Ashry

Loss in yield of broad bean grown in sandy soil naturally infested with root-knot nematode Meloidogyne arenaria was estimated during two successive seasons. Severity of nematode infestation (damage) was assayed at harvest stage as root-gall indices (GI) based…

An improved protocol for quantification of root-lesion nematode infection in Barley

A. A. Galal, S. F. Abou-Elwafa, F. J. Kopisch-Obuch, C. Jung

In green house conditions, an improved protocol for testing barley plants against root lesion nematode (RLN) had been standerdized. The plants were grown in 150 cm³ instead of 20 cm³ tubes and we increased the inoculum size from 400 to 1000 nematodes…
