Efficacy of several soil amendments for the control of Xiphinema index and Meloidogyne javanica on grapevine seedlings in Pakistan

摘要

The effect of four soil amendments, applied individually or in several combinations, and a chemical nematicide (carbofuran) on plant-parasitic nematodes associated with the rhizosphere of grapevine (Vitis vinifera var. Shundokhani) seedlings was investigated in pot experiments. The most effective control of both Xiphinema index and Meloidogyne javanica was obtained with carbofuran at 0.2 g/litre. Populations of Xiphinema index and Meloidogyne javanica juveniles were highly susceptible to amendments composed of neem powder (at 4.08 g/pot)+ Fertinemakil fertiliser (at 2.5g/pot) as well as marigold + Fertinemakil. The least but significant control was achieved with sugarcane bagasse for Xiphinema index and sugarcane bagasse + fertinemakil for Meloidogyne javanica juveniles.
