Journal ArticleDOI

Using marigold (Tagetes spp.) as a cover crop to protect crops from plant-parasitic nematodes

TL;DR: Variable findings from marigold use are revealed, and future research should focus on determining the exact causes of this variability and on developing field IPM programs that take advantage of the nematode-suppressive potential of marigolds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential response of Mi gene-resistant tomato rootstocks to root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita)

TL;DR: There are big differences between Mi-gene-resistant tomato cultivars as far as nematode host status, and that some should be considered tolerant rather than resistant.
Journal Article

Discrimination of six pratylenchus species using PCR and species-specific primers.

TL;DR: A PCR-based assay for identification of six species of Pratylenchus common in California is described, able to identify single females to species level and can be used as a rapid diagnostic tool in epidemiological and management studies.
Journal Article

Use of Cucumis metuliferus as a Rootstock for Melon to Manage Meloidogyne incognita

TL;DR: It was concluded that grafting susceptible melon on to C. moschata rootstock made the plants tolerant, but not resistant, to the nematodes, and C. metuliferus may be used as a rootstock for melon to prevent both growth reduction and a strong nematode buildup in M. incognita-infested soil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of temperature on the duration of the life cycle of a Meloidogyne incognita population

Antoon T. Ploeg, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1999 - 
TL;DR: The thermal time relationship for completion of the life cycle of M. incognita is discussed in relation to those of other Meloidogyne species and the relation temperature/temps relative a l'accomplissement du cycle biologique est discutee and comparee au cas des autres especes du genre.
