Association and impact of nematodes on weeds and leafy vegetables : with reference to Meloidogyne
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Although some African countries have attained some successes in addressing food insecurity during the past 20 years, acceptable levels of nutrition in humans still pose a challenge. African leafy vegetables (ALVs) are ... -
A comparative study of the development and reproduction of Meloidogyne enterolobii and other thermophilic South African Meloidogyne species
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Meloidogyne enterolobii, a highly pathogenic root-knot nematode species, infects fruit, grain, oilseed, ornamental and vegetable crops causing severe damage to agri-and horticultural crops worldwide. The species is infamous ... -
Evaluation of fruit-based amendments for the management of root-knot nematodes (Meloidgyne spp.) in tomato
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Vegetable crops are commonly grown by both commercial and resource-poor farmers in South Africa. They are widely used as fresh and processed vegetables and as a result serve as an income for subsistence farmers. However, ... -
Identification and reproduction potential of South African Meloidogyne species
(2016)Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) parasitize a wide range of agri- and horticultural crops worldwide, causing yield and quality losses. Meloidogyne arenaria, M. hapla, M. incognita and M. javanica generally are the ... -
An investigation into the potential of crude and partially separated material of selected non–crop plant species as control agents of root–knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) in tomato
(North-West University, 2012)Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) are a serious problem in vegetable production and can cause severe damage to several crops. In rural, low-input farming nematode damage is much higher and yields can be completely destroyed. ... -
Population dynamics of Meloidogyne spp. and the effect of pre-plant practices on the pest in tomato net houses in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)In South Africa, the largest tomato producer, ZZ2, practices extensive monocropping under net house structures. These net houses allow the farmer prolonged harvest and good quality yields, however, they also provide ideal ...
