A comparison study with alternative biorational agents to suppress the root-knot nematode populations and gall-formation in tomato plants
International Journal of Nematology 22 (1-2), 112-116
Abstract: Abamectin, fosthiazate and mycorrhiza (Glomus intraradices) and their combinations were evaluated against the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) populations and galls formation on tomato plants cv. Super strain B under greenhouse conditions. The results indicated that fosthiazate and abamectin proved to be the most effective against the root-knot populations/250g soil with 74.7 and 74% reductions, respectively. Abamectin alone and fosthiazate in the half dose mixed with G. intraradices which recorded reduction in galls formation by 60.7 and 59.7%, respectively. All treatments induced the growth of the shoot system, and the highest increase in shootlength (174.9%) was recorded with abamectin, while G. intraradices alone recorded the highest increase in shoot weight (56.8%). Abamectin in the half dose combined with the fungus G. intraradicesproduced the least increase in shoot length and weight.
