Abstract:Chitosan is an antimicrobial polysaccharide with potential to control nematodes and elicit plant defense responses. This study aimed to assess the effect of seed treatment with chitosan on the control of Meloidogyne javanica and resistance induction in soybean. In vitro and greenhouse experiments were performed to investigate the effects of chitosan treatments on nematode egg hatching rate, root penetration and reproduction, glyceollin production, and activation of the enzymes guaiacol peroxidase (POX), polyph… Show more
