Effect of Two Nematicides on Nematodes Populations and Two Bacterial Populations Associated with Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) Crop

Abstract

The study involves evaluation of two nematicides, namely Turtob-F (a new nematicide) and carbofuran on 3 nematode populations and two bacteria associated with the rhizosphere of brinjal. The effect of the nematicides was observed on the population size of the selected nematodes and bacteria as well as the yield of brinjal crop. All three nematode populations were markedly reduced by the applied nematicides. The bacterial populations (Pseudomonas and Klebsiella) however, remained uninfluenced by the nematicides. The yield of brinjal was found to be significantly elevated (p<0.05).

Effect of Plant Based Nematicide on Population of Parasitic Nematodes and Bacteria Associated With Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus L. Moench)

“…Along with, the genetic potential for complete catechol, benzoate and phenylacetate degradation with stress response and heavy metals (Zn, Ca, Co, Ni) resistance was identified in K. pneumoniae PVN-1. Khan et al (2021Khan et al ( , 2021a have successfully used Turtob-F to control nematodes associated with coriander. The population of Tylenchorhynchus annulatus was effectively controlled by carbofuran followed by Turtob-F (p at the most 0.05) @ 9g/kg soil in pot experiment while nematode Helicotylenchus indicus associated with brinjal was effectively controlled by Turtob-F as compared by carbofuran while the population of Pseudomonas spp.…”

Effect of different oil cakes on Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) in Phaseolus vulgaris L. under greenhouse conditions

“…The benefits of organic amendments in improving crops performance are well known (Gallaher and McSorley, 1994 and 1995) [10,11] therefore a variety of organic amendments, such as oil cakes, compost, animal and green manures and proteinous wastes, are used for this purpose. Hence, oil cakes have shown great promise as a new strategy in managing nematodes (Khan et al, 2004 [16,2,14,25,5,29,26,9,17] and sucking pests including mites (Mahto and Yadav 2009 a and b and Veena et al, 2017).
