Considering the economic importance of strawberry in Brazil, with a clear migration trend from the soil to innovative systems on substrates, it is fundamental to evaluate the available cultivars in the market regarding tolerance to pathogens with potential for infestation. The reaction of eight commercial strawberry cultivars (Festival, Camino Real, Camarosa, Oso Grande, Monterey, San Andreas, Aromas, and Albion) to Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus species was evaluated. Strawberry cultivars were maintained in individual pots with sterilized soil and inoculated with 5,000 eggs + second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne arenaria, M. incognita, M. javanica or M. hapla or 1,000 specimens of Pratylenchus zea or P. brachyurus per plant. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with six replications using tomato ‘Rutgers’ and sorghum ‘506’ plants as control to root-knot and lesion nematodes, respectively. Ninety days after inoculation, the nematode reproduction factor (RF= final population/initial population) was evaluated to determine the resistance of the strawberry genotypes to each nematode species. All cultivars behaved as resistant (FR<1.00) or immune (FR= 0.00) to M. javanica, M. incognita, P. zeae and P. brachyurus. The cultivar ‘Camarosa’ was susceptible (FR>1.00) to M. arenaria and M. hapla and ‘Oso Grande’ behaved as a good host to M. hapla; however, the other cultivars were resistant to these two Meloidogyne species. The assessed cultivars are poor hosts, being an alternative to be used in infested areas with these pests.
This study aimed to evaluate the host status of soybean genotypes to Meloidogyne javanica (Est J3), Meloidogyne sp.0 (Est R0), and M. graminicola (Est VS1). In the first experiment, all tested genotypes (BMX Potência RR, BMX Valente RR, BMX Icone IPRO, PELBR10-6049 RR, and TECIRGA 6070 RR) were susceptible to M. javanica, with reproduction factor (RF) >1.0, and resistant to Meloidogyne sp.0 (0.01 > RF < 0.15), whereas in the second experiment, all genotypes (BRS 246 RR, PELBR11-6038 RR, PELBR11-6001 RR, PELBR10-6005 RR, BMX Apolo RR, PELBR11-6028 RR, PF11651, PF103251, PELBR11-6035 RR, PELBR10-6050 RR, PELBR11-6042 RR, PELBR10-6017 RR, PELBR11-6007 RR, PELBR10-6016 RR, and PELBR10-6049 RR) were resistant to M. graminicola (0.06 > RF < 0.43).
