Life Cycle and Pathogenicity of Meloidogyne incognita on Capsicum frutescens under Poly-House as Compared to Screen-House Conditions

Efficacy of Penicillium Chrysogenum Strain Snef1216 Against Root-Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne Incognita) in Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L.) Under Greenhouse Conditions

“…The results indicated that seed coating resulted in increased biomass with low nematodes attack at different inoculums levels viz., 500, 1000 and 2000 J2/per pot as compared to their controls. Thus, our results are agree with Duggal et al (2017) who reported that the pathogenic level of root-knot nematode in different inoculums viz., 0, 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 J2/pot resulted into significant reduction in plant growth parameters like plant height, root and shoot weight at or above 1000 J2 inoculums level. It was also reported that plant growth was inversely proportional to inoculums levels, at highest inoculums plant showed less biomass or vice versa.…”

“…Our findings clearly demonstrated that seed treatment with fungus Snef1216 (P. chrysogenum) significantly reduced the infection of root-knot nematode and lowered the number of 2 nd stage juvenile's invasion in to cucumber roots. The pathogenic level of M. incognita in capsicum under greenhouse condition was observed that number of galls, egg masses was increased with increase in levels of inoculum conspicuously at and above 1000 J2 level (Duggal et al, 2017). Our results also revealed that pathogenic level of root-knot nematode was also observed in cucumber that the number of galls and egg masses was increased with increase in inoculums level while, seeds treated with Snef1216 significantly reduced compared to control.…”

Growth, Physiological, and Biochemical Variations in Tomatoes after Infection with Different Density Levels of Meloidogyne enterolobii

“…Previous research findings also demonstrated that the pathogenicity of RKNs was found to be in association with the degree of inoculum and the number of egg masses and galls in greenhouse conditions. Specifically, it was revealed that the number of egg masses and galls increased significantly when the inoculum levels reached or exceeded 1000 J2s in capsicum plants [ 57 ]. In another investigation, it was further demonstrated that the quantity of egg masses, galls, and population of nematodes per root system exhibits a gradual increase as the inoculum (ranging from 100 to 4000 J2s per plant) increases [ 55 ].…”
