Alternative nematode management strategies
(Springer, 2017)In South Africa, about 48 % of the people live in rural areas. A large portion (35 %) of this rural population lives below the poverty line. Most of these communities depend on the production of grain, leguminous and ... -
Case study of effect of glyphosate application on plant-parasitic nematodes associated with a soybean-maize rotation system in South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Information on the effect of the herbicide glyphosate on nematodes in the field is limited and contradictory. A small field experiment was conducted during two consecutive summer-growing seasons to investigate the response ... -
Comparative molecular and morphological identification, and reproduction potential of South African Meloidogyne species with emphasis on Meloidogyne enterolobii
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Meloidogyne is a destructive nematode genus parasitising crops worldwide. Meloidogyne arenaria, M. hapla, M. incognita and M. javanica are listed as the economically most important species, but M. enterolobii is considered ... -
Effect of pit-composting on root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica) population densities and yield of tomato under field conditions
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Soil amendments, constituting of various plant and animal sources, were evaluated in pits for their effects on Meloidogyne spp. infecting tomato in comparison to the synthetic nematicide fenamiphos and the untreated control. ... -
Histological characterization of wild cucumber resistance to Meloidogyne species
(Springer, 2023)Using nematode resistant varieties is one of efective and environmental sound strategies being adopted in the management of economically important Meloidogyne species. Wild cucumber (Cucumis africanus) has been reported ... -
Histological Characterization Of Wild Cucumber Resistance To Meloidogyne Species
(Springer, 2023)Using nematode resistant varieties is one of efective and environmental sound strategies being adopted in the management of economically important Meloidogyne species. Wild cucumber (Cucumis africanus) has been reported ... -
Morphological and morphometrical identification of Meloidogyne populations from various crop production areas in South Africa with emphasis on M. enterolobii
(Magnolia Press, 2019)Accurate identification of Meloidogyne spp. is crucial and the first step to apply suitable management strategies to combat these nematode pests. Perineal-pattern morphology of female specimens is one of the most common ... -
Nematode assemblages in grain crop fields in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Grain crop yields and quality are adversely affected by infection and parasitism of plant-parasitic nematodes; especially root-knot (Meloidogyne) and lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus) that dominate in local production areas. ... -
Nematode pests of leguminous and oilseed crops
(Springer, 2017)Sunflower ranks first among the legume and oilseed crops produced in South Africa, followed by soybean. The production of Bambara groundnut, cowpea, dry bean, groundnut and lupin is practised on a much smaller scale. The ... -
Nematode pests of maize and other cereal crops
(Springer, 2017)Maize is the most important cereal crop grown in South Africa, followed by wheat and grain sorghum. Yields of grain crops usually vary considerably between years, mainly due to highly variable rainfall. The most widespread ...
