(North-West University (South Africa), 2024)Soybean is a popular oilseed crop in South Africa with an increase in prodution and hectares that doubled in last 10 years. Crop production is predicted to increase with 41% by 2030. The crop is infected and damaged by a ... -
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 ...
