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 ... -
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. ... -
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 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 ... -
Nematode pests of potato and other vegetable crops
(Springer, 2017)The major nematode pests of potato and tomato, their biology, economic damage and control options are outlined along with brief descriptions of those recorded from onion, cabbage, carrot, sweet potato, green pea, beetroot ... -
Nematodes of grasses and weeds
(Springer, 2017)Numerous grass species are used as pasture and cover crops in crop rotation systems in South Africa. A wide range of weed species are also present in local cropping systems and adversely affect crop production. The ... -
Plant-parasitic nematode assemblages associated with glyphosate tolerant and conventional soybean cultivars in South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Information about the non-target effects of glyphosate, a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide on soil-borne nematodes is scarce and not well documented for South African agricultural fields. In the present study, the abundance ... -
South Africa: an important soybean producer in sub-Saharan Africa and the quest for managing nematode pests of the crop
(MDPI, 2020)With an increase in the global population, a protein-rich crop like soybean can help manage food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The expansion of soybean production in recent years lead to increased land requirements ...
