Incorporação ao solo de folhas secas picadas ou moídas de seis espécies de plantas para o controle deMeloidogyne javanica em tomateiro em casa de vegetação

Bionematicidal Potential of Some Incorporating Plants on Meloidogyne javanica Control on Tomato

“…This funding in agreement with those by previous researcher [24,25] who showed nematicidal effect of lemon grass by reducing number eggs of M. javanica and M. incognita and root galling of tomato and African yam bean and inhibit egg hatching [26]. Lemon grass as a member of Cymbopogon genus produce essential oils rich in monoterpenes such as citral, citronellal, citronellol, elemol, linalool, limonene, 1,8-cineole, geraniol, β-carophyllene, geranyl acetate, methyl heptenone and geranylformate [27].…”

Advances and Trends in Organic Fruit and Vegetable Farming Research

“…Consequently, cultural practices that promote the expression of antimicrobial qualities within the resident microbiome, such as the application of organic matter or organic compound amendments (Akhtar and Malik 2000; Oka et al 2007;Alsanius et al 2009;Giotis et al 2009;Oka 2010;Lopes et al 2011;Somasekhara et al 2013) or the use of cover crops and rotation (Viaene and Abawi 1998;Njoroge et al 2009) help minimize disease pressure on the crop. Depending on the type of organic amendment and compost, multiple studies have reported a major or moderate suppressive effect of compost or compost tea on diseases such as bacterial spot (Xanthomonas vesicatoria), early blight (Alternaria solani), bacterial canker (Clavibacter michiganensis), corky root rot (Pyrenochaeta lycopersici), gray mould (B. cinerea), F.…”

The microbial content, nutrients, and organic molecules such as humic or phenolic compounds in compost and compost tea have been shown to be the main factors in the inhibition or prevention of plant disease.…”

A Review on the Challenges for Increased Production of Castor

“…The ricinine present in castor pollen can be toxic to social bees ( Apis mellifera L. and Scaptotrigona postica Latreille) (Rother et al, 2009; Assis et al, 2011). When extracts and powders derived from castor leaves were found to suppress parasitic nematode growth, ricinine was thought to be the active compound (Radwan et al, 2007; Amaral et al, 2009; Katooli et al, 2011; Lopes et al, 2011).…”

“…Castor leaves used as mulch were able to reduce the population of M. arenaria infecting okra plants (Ritzinger and McSorley, 1998b). Leaves were more effective against M. javanica if a powder was mixed in the soil than if chopped leaves were placed in the soil surface (Lopes et al, 2011).…”
