The objective of this work was to prospect sources of resistance to root-knot nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii in Solanum species with potential to be used as rootstocks for cultivated Solanaceae. Nine accessions of Solanum sessiliflorum, 27 accessions of S. lycocarpum, 21 accessions of S. acanthodes, 22 accessions of S. scinericum and 26 accessions of S. scuticum for resistance to M. enterolobii. Rutgers and Nemadoro tomatoes were used as susceptible and resistant controls, respectively. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at Embrapa Vegetables, Brasília-DF, Brazil, in a completely randomized design with six replications. The experimental unit was a represented by a single plant grown in a plastic pot containing 3 L of substrate. 4000 eggs and eventual juveniles of second stage M. enterolobii were inoculated per pot. At 119 days after inoculation, gall index (Gi), egg mass index (EMI), number of eggs per root gram (NE) and reproduction factor (Fr) were evaluated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and grouping of treatments by Scott-Knott. It was verified that S. acanthodes and S. Lycocarpum are species with high resistance to M. enterolobii, with accessions being classified identified as immune. S. scuticum also has great potential, as several resistant accessions were identified, although some accessions were quite susceptible; whereas for S. subinerme only 4 resistant accessions were identified, although all others presented a reproduction factor much lower than tomato cv. Nemadoro as control; and all evaluated S. sessiliflorum accessions were susceptible.
In Brazil, eggplant and gilo are important for the economy of small-scale farms located mainly in the southeast states and other regions, with a significant production volume year-round in the wholesale local markets. However, these species are very susceptible to root-knot nematodes, and there are few or almost none known sources of resistance. The objective of this studywas to prospect sources of resistance to root-knot nematodesin eggplant, scarlet eggplant (gilo), as well in interspecific hybrids between these species and with wildSolanumspecies, to be used as rootstocks. In the first experiment, in 2013,10 eggplant accessions, a hybrid between eggplant andgilo, and a Solanum stramonifoliumxeggplanthybrid, were evalu41atedfor theirreaction to Meloidogyne enterolobii. In the second, in 2016, 20 accessions of gilowere evaluated for their reaction to M. incognita, M. javanica,and M. enterolobii.. And in the third experiment,in 2017,one access and two experimental eggplant hybrids, and one Solanum scuticumx eggplant hybrid, were evaluated for their reaction to M. incognita, and M. enterolobii. All the trials were stablished inagreenhouse, and characters related to root infection were evaluated in a completely randomized design with six replications of one plant per pot, usinga 1.5 L pots filled with a mixedsubstrate inoculated with each nematode species.Itwas found thatall eggplant accessions were susceptible to M. incognitaand M. enterolobii, however, BER 3150 presented lower susceptibility to M. incognita. The gilogenotypes CNPH 056, CNPH 070, CNPH 220,and CNPH 363 shownbetter response to M. incognitaand M. javanicathan the susceptibility pattern, the tomato 'Rutgers'. Other giloaccessions CNPH 070, CNPH 219,and CNPH 387 showed better or equivalent response thanthe resistant tomato 'Nemadoro' for M. enterolobii.4-the BER EG203 x S. scuticuminterspecific hybrid can be recommended as a rootstock for eggplant susceptible to M. incognita, as well the wild S. stramonifoliumvar. inerme species for M. enterolobii.
The objective of this research was to evaluate the population dynamics of the nematodes Heterodera glycines race 5 and Pratylenchus brachyurus in a succession crop of soybeans and chickpeas. The experiment was carried out in Campos Novos dos Parecis, MT State, Brazil, from February to May 2017. Six chickpea cultivars were planted in February and evaluated in a naturally infested area of 60 ha. Five soil samples were collected at random in georeferenced and equidistant locations, forming a composite sample by replication. Five plants per georeferenced point and new soil samples were collected at regular intervals of about 30 d. The nematodes were extracted, identified, and counted. Data were subjected to variance and regression analyses. A reduction in the population levels of H. glycines race 5 was observed throughout the chickpea cycle, indicating that this species can be cultivated in succession with soybeans in the presence of this nematode. However, due to the maintenance in the population of P. brachyurus in the roots, rotation of soybean with chickpeas is not recommended in fields naturally infested with this nematode.
