<p>Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.cepae (FOCe) causing basal rot of garlic is the main obstacle in improving garlic production. The presence of root knot nematode (Meloidogynespp.) is thought to cause an increase in the disease was caused by FOCe. This research aimed to study the effect of the presence of Meloidogyne in increasing the disease severity of basal rot of garlic caused by FOCe and interactions between them. The research was conducted through surveys and experimental procedures. The survey was conducted to obtain preliminary data on the relationship between the disease severity of basal rot of garlic and the infection of Meloidogyne in soil. Experimental study were prepared using a complete randomized block design, with two factors consisting of three levels inoculum density. The first factor was FOCe and the second factor was Meloidogyne spp. The results showed that the presence of Meloidogyne could increase the disease severity of basal rot of garlic</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
