Comparative study on the efficiency of dry and green manuring of certain plant leaves against Meloidogyne javanica and Rotylenchulus reniformis infecting sunflower
Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde, Pflanzenschutz, Umweltschutz 72 (6), 166-168
Abstract: Five different dry and five green plant leaves were tested against Meloidogyne javanica and Rotylenchulus reniformis, as bio-agents in controlling these nematodes infecting sunflower. Data generally, indicated that all the tested manures significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the total number of nematodes in root and soil. The best materials were datura dry leaves on M. javanica and lime dry leaves on R. reniformis which gave very good results against nematodes (86.4 and 95.1 % female reduction, respectively). Plant growth was significantly (P< 0.05) better, in most cases, in shoots, roots and flowering discs weight.
