plant use, method of reducing nematode population and plant population

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of daucus carota plants which do not belong to the subspecies of cultivated carrots daucus carota subsp. sativus to disinfect nematode-infested heterodera carotae-infested culture media using the nematicidal power of plants. The present application also relates to daucus carota plants which are resistant to the nematode heterodera carotae and to methods of cultivation of these plants which allow the reduction of the population of heterodera carotae nematodes present in culture medium.
