Response of certain cultivars of sugarcane to infection by Pratylenchus zeae, the root-lesion nematode
Pakistan Journal of Nematology 20 (2), 47-55
Abstract: Four cultivars of sugarcane viz., GT54-9, GT68-88, G75-368 and NCO-310 were evaluated for their reaction to infection by Pratylenchus zeae, the root lesion nematode. All the tested cultivars were found susceptible to P. zeae. The influence of the different inoculum levels 0, 100, 1000, 2000 and 4000 of P. zeae was studied on sugar cane cv. GT54-9. Plant growth parameters gradually decreased as nematode inoculum levels increased. The rate of nematode build up gradually decreased by increasing the initial population, therefore, the highest nematode build up occurred at the lowest initial nematode population. A nematode level of 2000 appeared to be optimum for infection on sugarcane plants.
