Effect of intercropping Asparagus scandens with sour organe seedling in comparison with nematicidal and root exudate treatments on Tylenchulus semipenetrans larvae
Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde, Pflanzenschutz, Umweltschutz 68 (6), 129-130
Abstract: The intercropping of Asparagus scandens with sour orange seedlings Citrus aurantium, gave a significant reduction on Tylenchulus semipenetrans larvae in soil after two months of inoculated pots as compared with uninoculated one. There was no significant difference with vydate treatment under green house conditions. There was no adverse effect on plant's fresh and dry weighths for all treatments. The laboratory experiment revealed that there was a positive correlation between concentration, exposure time and toxic effect of root extract of A. scandens on T. semipenetrans larvae, since 100% mortality were obtained after 24 and 96 h of exposure to the concentrations of 15 and 50 g/100 ml distilled water, respectively.
