Seasonal fluctuation of Pratylenchus zeae in fields of sugarcane in relation to soil type and temperature
Pakistan Journal of Nematology 20 (2), 39-46
Abstract: The population density of Pratylenchus zeae fluctuated in both soil and roots of sugarcane all over the growing season and varied markedly in relation to soil type (silty clay loam and clay loam) and soil temperature. The population density of this pest had at least tow distinguishable peaks which negatively correlated with the prevailing soil temperature. The first peak occurred in December and January and the second one occurred in September.
