The abundance, identity and population dynamics of Meloidogyne spp. associated with maize in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)Maize, a staple food in sub-Saharan countries, is also an important livestock feed source in many parts of the world. Plant-parasitic nematodes cause estimated yield losses of 12 % upwards in local maize fields. Although ... -
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 ... -
Characterisation of a biological soil culture and its effects on the biology of root-knot nematodes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the number one economically important and damaging nematode pest of agri- and horticultural crops. Withdrawal of synthetic nematicides from markets necessitated the exploitation ... -
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 ... -
Metabolite profiling of Bacillus species with nematicidal activity
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)Root-knot nematodes continue to be a global problem in agriculture causing major economic losses. Various Bacillus spp. have the potential to inhibit the Meloidogyne root-knot nematode populations. Although many studies ... -
Nematode (Phylum Nematoda) community assemblages : a tool to implement environmentally–sound management strategies for root–knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) in potato–based cropping systems
(North-West University, 2012)those special or additional educational needs and goals that would enable students to fulfil their future roles in their communities and beyond. It is also argued that the mini–education systems of non–governmental ...
