“…Therefore, it is important to carefully consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of deep tillage before implementing it as a nematode management strategy. In some cases, reduced tillage or no-till practices may be more appropriate and effective for maintaining soil health while still managing nematode populations [ 131 , 156 , [163] , [164] , [165] , [166] ].…”

“…), yam ( Scutellonema bradys ) and lesion ( Pratylenchus spp.) 13 , 14 , 18 , play major roles in reducing yam crop values primarily because of lack of available, affordable control options 6 , 9 , 11 . The yam nematode S. bradys is probably the single-most important parasite due to its ubiquitous presence in yam plantings 14 .…”

Plant-biomass-based hybrid seed wraps mitigate yield and post-harvest losses among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa

Sustainable practices that reduce food loss are essential for enhancing global food security. We report a ‘wrap and plant’ seed treatment platform to protect crops from soil-borne pathogens. Developed from the abundantly available wastes of banana harvest and recycled old, corrugated cardboard boxes via chemical-free pulping, these paper-like biodegradable seed wraps exhibit tunable integrity and bioavailability of loaded moieties. These wraps were used for nematode control on yam (Dioscorea cayenensis-rotundata) seed pieces in Benin, a major producer of this staple crop in the sub-Saharan African ‘yam belt’. Our seed wraps loaded with ultra-low-volume abamectin (1/100 ≤ commercial formulation) consistently controlled yam nematode (Scutellonema bradys) populations while considerably increasing the yield at various locations over 2015–2018. Substantial reduction in post-harvest tuber weight loss and cracking was observed after 3 and 5 months of storage, contributing to increased value, nutrition and stakeholders’ preference for the wrap and plant treatment.

“…Green manure plants were also tested for their efficiency as crops rotation with beans to reduce RKN. They also explored as basic additions in the control of nematode [27]. Meloidogyne graminicola, the rice root-knot nematode, has gained widespread attention due to its ability to cause significant harm in rice-wheat cropping systems.…”

Meloidogyne genus contains the most prevalent and harmful worms formally known as root-knot nematode species. They attack a wide range of plants belonging to different plant families. The infective second stage juveniles (J-II) feed on the roots and as a result, the host plant roots become swollen/produce galls. The attack plant shows stunted growth and in extreme cases, the death of the plant occurs. An integrated pest management (IPM) approach is required to tackle these harmful nematodes spp. The integrated tactics include cultural/agronomic practices, biological and chemical control. A sole management method is not enough to deal with the root-knot nematode. Therefore, a proper IPM package is required for the farmer to gain good health for the crops.
