Para tanto, foi conduzido um experimento em delineamento em blocos casualizados, com três blocos e seis tratamentos, os quais envolveram as linhas parentais 'Gaúcho Redondo' (P1 resistente à M. incognita) e JAB 20 (P2 suscetível, resultado do programa de Melhoramento Genético da Cultura do Melão Rendilhado da UNESP-FCAV), assim como as gerações F1 (P1xP2), F2 (F1xF1), e retrocruzamentos (RC1P1 e RC1P2). Foram avaliadas plantas individuais após 70 dias da inoculação com o patógeno, por meio do fator de reprodução do nematoide (FR), calculado pela contagem do número de ovos e juvenis de segundo estádio, contido na suspensão de cada raiz processada, dividido pela população inicial. A hipótese de herança monogênica foi rejeitada ao nível de significância de 1% de probabilidade no teste do qui-quadrado (χ2), indicando que a resistência está sob controle de mais de um lócus gênico, o que foi confirmado pela análise quantitativa, que evidenciou a existência de seis genes envolvidos na herança da resistência ao nematoide. Houve predominância dos efeitos aditivos no controle da característica em estudo, o que permite resposta aos processos de seleção / Abstract: This study was conducted at the College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences (UNESP-FCAV) in Jaboticabal-SP, in order to evaluate the mode of inheritance of resistance of melon 'Gaucho Round' to Meloidogyne incognita. Therefore, an experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three blocks and six treatments, which involved the parental lines 'Gaucho Round' (P1 resistant to M. incognita) and JAB 20 (P2 susceptible result of Breeding Program Culture Melon Tracery UNESP-FCAV), as well as the F1 (P1xP2), F2 (F1xF1) and backcross (RC1P1 and RC1P2). Individual plants were evaluated 70 days after inoculation with the pathogen through the nematode reproduction factor (FR), calculated by counting the number of eggs and second stage juveniles contained in the suspension of each root processed, divided by the initial population . The hypothesis of monogenic inheritance was rejected at a significance level of 1% probability in the chi-square (χ2), indicating that resistance is under the control of more than one gene locus, which was confirmed by quantitative analysis, which showed the existence of six genes involved in inheritance of resistance to nematodes.

O gênero Eucalyptus possui diversas espécies que apresentam grande valor comercial, sendo utilizado principalmente para produção de energia (carvão e lenha) e celulose-papel. Na literatura, entretanto, existem poucas informações acerca de nematoses nessa cultura. Além dessa carência e de sua importância econômica, o eucalipto é comumente cultivado em locais de alta incidência de Pratylenchus brachyurus e Meloidogyne incognita, além de ser consorciado com diversas outras culturas intolerantes, como por exemplo a soja. Dessa forma há uma necessidade de conhecer a reação das espécies de eucalipto a estes nematoides. Dito isso, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo testar a reação de algumas espécies de eucalipto a P. brachyurus e M.incognita. Foram realizados 6 experimentos, 5 envolvendo o nematoide das lesões e 1 com o nematoide de galhas. Os tratamentos foram inoculados com uma população inicial de nematoides e, após 90 dias, estimava-se o fator de reprodução (FR) e nematoides por grama de raiz (Nem/g). Adotou-se o critério baseado em Oostenbrink (1966), onde a espécie foi considerada suscetível quando apresenta FR >= 1 e resistente quando FR < 1. Dos eucaliptos testados, 6 apresentaram reação suscetível e 4 reação resistente para P. brachyurus. As espécies com maiores FR estão entre as mais utilizadas no Brasil, exceto E. saligna. Ressalta-se que estas não necessariamente são resistentes, necessitando apenas de um período maior para o estabelecimento do patógeno. Observou-se indícios de que E. saligna e E. camaldulensis sejam intolerantes a P.brachyurus. Para M. incognita raça 3 todas as espécies testadas foram resistentes. Aconselha-se a realização de experimentos com períodos superiores a 100 dias para uma correta classificação da reação de hospedeiro. O eucalipto é uma opção para aproveitamento de áreas infestadas com M. incognita raça 3, porém seu uso mostra-se um risco em áreas infestadas com P. brachyurus. / The Eucalyptus has several species with high commercial value and is used mainly for energy purpose (Charcoal and firewood) and paper. In the literature, however, there is little information about plant parasitic nematodes in this woody specie. In addition to this lack and its economic importance, eucalypts is also commonly cultivated in areas with high incidence of Pratylenchus brachyurus and Meloidogyne incognita, and consorted with several intolerant crops, such as soybean. Thus, there is a need to know the host status of the eucalypts species to these nematodes. With that, this work aimed to test the reaction of some Eucalyptus species to P.brachyurus and M. incognita. For this purpose six experiments were performed, five to test the lesion nematode and one to test the root-knot nematode. The treatments were inoculated and, after 90 days, it was estimated the reproduction factor (FR) and nematodes per gram of root (Nem/g). The present work adopted the criteria based on Oostenbrink (1966), where the species was considered susceptible when presenting FR >= 1 and resistant when FR < 1. Of species tested, six were susceptible hosts and four resistant host to P. brachyurus. The species with highest FR are among the most used eucalypts in Brazil, except E. saligna. It is emphasized that those species with FR < 1 are not necessarily resistant, requiring only a longer period for the pathogen establishment. There was some evidence that E. saligna and E. camaldulensis are intolerant hosts to P. brachyurus. To M. incognita Race 3 all tested species were resistant. It is advisable to perform experiments for periods longer than 100 days to a correct classification of host status. Eucalyptus is an option for utilization of areas infested with M. incognita race 3, but its use appears to be a risk in Pratylenchus brachyurus infested areas.

Apesar da alta produtividade, o Brasil tem pequena participação no mercado internacional, devido ao elevado consumo interno e pela baixa qualidade dos frutos, que se deve a vários fatores como: genética da cultivar, tipo de solo, manejos agronômicos e sanitários. Dentre os problemas fitossanitários destacam-se os nematóides. Várias espécies de nematóides representam problemas para esta cultura. Radopholus similis, Meloidogyne spp., Pratylenchus coffeae, Helicotylenchus multicinctus e Rotylenchulus reniformis estão amplamente distribuídos nas principais regiões produtoras, causando perdas expressivas à bananicultura. Na presente pesquisa visou-se estudar a patogenicidade de M. incognita raça 2 e M. javanica em bananeira ‘Prata An㒠em substratos com diferentes fertilidades, utilizando vários níveis de população inicial de M. incognita raça 2 ou M. javanica (0, 2.000, 10.000 e 50.000 nematóides) por planta. Para isso, foram conduzidos dois experimentos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Cada parcela foi constituída de uma planta por vaso de 10L de capacidade, no experimento com M. incognita raça 2 e, vasos de 5L, para M. javanica. Os substratos utilizados em ambos experimentos foram: Substrato 1: contendo uma mistura de areia-solo-esterco na proporção 1:1:1 com textura arenosa e pH 7,0; substrato 2: (padrão) com textura média, com pH 5,6, sem adição de NPK; substrato 3: substrato 2 com pH ajustado para 6,4; substrato 4: substrato 3 com adição de NPK e substrato 5: substrato 2 com adição de NPK. A inoculação foi realizada uma semana após o transplantio das mudas. A avaliação final foi efetuada aos 135 dias da inoculação, quando foram determinados a altura (HP) e diâmetro do pseudocaule (DP), 2 número de...

Banana crops are affected by many phytosanitary problems, caused by phytopathogenic fungi, insect pests and nematodes. Radopholus similis, Meloidogyne spp., Pratylenchus coffeae, Helicotylenchus, multicinctus and Rotylenchulus reniformis are widely distributed in the main producer regions causing expressive economic losses in bananas production. This work aimed to study the reaction of banana cv. Prata Anã to Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica in soils with different fertilities. Artificial infestation was accomplished using initial different population levels (0, 2,000, 10,000 and 50,000 nematodes / plant) of M. incognita or M. javanica. For this, two experiments were carried out in a totally random design. Each plot was constituted of one plant / pot. The soils used in both experiments were: Soil 1: with a mix of sand-soilmanure (1:1:1), sandy texture and pH 7,0; soil 2: (standard), medium texture, pH 5,6 without NPK fertilizer; soil 3: soil 2 with pH fitted to 6,4; soil 4: soil 3 with NPK fertilizer and soil 5: soil 2 with NPK fertilizer. The inoculation was proceded one week after plants set up. The final evaluation was made at 135 days after inoculation, when the height plant (HP) and pseudosterm diameter (DP), leaves number (NF), nematodes number for root gram (NºN/gR), soil and root total nematode number (NTSR), reproductive factor (FR), root fresh weight (PFR) and dry shoot (PSA) were determined. However, with the purpose of determine the best evaluation time, the parameters plant height, pseudostem leaves number and pseudostem diameter were evaluated also at 27, 56, 89 and 119 days after the inoculation. There were not verified significant interactions between M. incognita population initial levels and soil fertility for the parameters... (Complete abstract, click electronic access below) / Doutor

Sixty-one rhizobacterium isolates obtained from rhizosphere soil and 56 endophytic obtained from the Culture Collection of Plant Bacteriology Laboratory - Federal Rural University of Pernambuco were tested. Melon seedlings yellow type 10 days old had their soil infested with 1000 eggs of Meloidogyne incognita race 2. Two days before soil infestation 20 mL of bacterial suspension (0,7 OD) were deposited in each pot. After 60 days fresh biomass of shoot and root , gall index, egg mass index and nematode reproduction factor were determined. Among 117 isolates the endophytic ENM7, ENM10 and ENM51 were selected because they significantly reduced egg mass index and/or gall index. However when tested again, separately or in mixtures, these isolates did not maintain their efficiency and besides they did not affect egg hatching in vitro. In order to study the activity of the isozymes α and β-esterase, peroxidase, acid phosphatase and malate dehydrogenase, plants of melon with 10 days old, had their soil infested with 500 nematode eggs per plant, and maintained in greenhouse. At 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24 e 32 days after soil infestation the third leaf of each plant was collected and processed for electrophoresis of isozymes in polyacrilamide gel. Only β-esterase and malate dehydrogenase showed polymorphism between bands expressed by plants parasitized by nematodes when compared to the control plants. The nematode inhibited the expression of some β-esterase genes and activated the expression of other malate dehydrogenase genes. / O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi isolar e selecionar bactérias para o controle da meloidoginose e avaliar a atividade isoenzimática de plantas de meloeiro parasitadas por Meloidogyne incognita raça 2. A partir de solo rizosférico de meloeiro foram obtidos 61 isolados de rizobactérias que juntamente com 56 isolados endofíticos pertencentes à Coleção de Culturas do Laboratório de Fitobacteriologia da UFRPE foram testados. Plântulas de meloeiro Amarelo com 10 dias tiveram o solo infestado com 1000 ovos de M. incognita raça 2. Dois dias antes da infestação do solo foram depositados 20 mL da suspensão bacteriana (0,7 A) por vaso. Decorridos 60 dias, foram determinadas as biomassas frescas da parte aérea e das raízes, os índices de galhas e de massa de ovos e o fator de reprodução do nematóide. Dos 117 isolados testados, foram selecionados inicialmente os endofíticos ENM7, ENM10 e ENM51 que reduziram significativamente o índice de massa de ovos e/ou o índice de galhas. Contudo, quando testados novamente, separadamente ou em misturas, esses isolados não mantiveram a eficiência na redução dessas variáveis e in vitro também não afetaram a eclosão dos juvenis. Para o estudo da atividade das isoenzimas α e β-esterase, peroxidase, fosfatase ácida e malato desidrogenase, plantas de meloeiro com dez dias de idade, tiveram o solo infestado com 500 ovos do nematóide por planta, sendo mantidas em casa de vegetação. Aos 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24 e 32 dias após a infestação do solo a terceira folha das plantas foi coletada e submetida à eletroforese de isoenzimas em gel de poliacrilamida. Apenas a β-esterase e a malato desidrogenase mostraram polimorfismo entre as bandas expressas pelas amostras das plantas parasitadas por nematóides, quando comparadas às plantas testemunhas. A presença do nematóide inibiu a expressão de alguns genes β-esterase e ativou a expressão de outros da malato desidrogenase.

Thesis (M.Agric. (Plant Production)) -- University of Limpopo, 2018 / Meloidogyne incognita race 2 is internationally recognised as one of the most aggressive Meloidogyne species and it is also widely distributed in Limpopo Province, where it occurs alone or as mixed populations with other Meloidogyne species. Traditionally, Meloidogyne species had been managed using synthetic chemical nematicides, most of these products had been withdrawn from agro-chemical markets due to their environment-unfriendliness. Following the withdrawal of synthetic chemical nematicides, nematode resistance had been the most preferred strategy for managing high nematode population densities. The availability of nematode resistant genotypes in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) would enhance the use of resistance in managing Meloidogyne species and races in Limpopo Province. Generally, should post-infectional nematode resistance be available in the test sweet potato cultivars, the information would be relayed to plant breeders for use as source of introgression in various commercial cultivars where nematode-resistant genotypes do not exist. The objectives of the study, were to determine: (1) Host-status and host-sensitivity in sweet potato cv. ʹBopheloʹ, ʹBosbokʹ and ʹMvuvheloʹ to M. incognita race 2. (2) the existing nematode resistance mechanism in any of the test cultivars that had resistance to M. incognita race 2. For achieving Objective 1, eight treatments namely, 0, 25, 50, 125, 250, 625, 1250 and 3125 eggs and second stage-juveniles (J2) M. incognita race 2 were used under greenhouse trials for each cultivar. To achieve Objective 2, sweet potato plants were inoculated with 100 J2 with four plants harvested every other day for 30 days counting to 15 harvesting times. At 56 days after inoculation, cv. ʹBopheloʹ had reproductive factor (RF) values above unity for M. incognita race 2 and plant growth variables were reduced. Therefore, the cultivar was a susceptible host to M. incognita race 2 and mechanism trial was not conducted for this cultivar. Meloidogyne incognita race 2 failed to reproduce on cultivars ʹBosbokʹ and ʹMvuvheloʹ whereas nematode infection did not affect plant growth and therefore, the two cultivars were resistant to M. incognita race 2. Mechanisms of resistance to M. incognita race 2 on cultivars ʹBosbokʹ and ʹMvuvheloʹ demonstrated significance existence of (1) necrotic spots, (2) poorly developed giant cells, (3) formation of rootlet interferences (4) absence of root galls and (5) non-detectable J2 in roots. All these features suggested the existence of post-infectional nematode resistance in the two cultivars to M. incognita race 2. In conclusion, cultivar ʹBopheloʹ was susceptible to M. incognita race 2, whereas cultivars ʹBosbokʹ and ʹMvuvheloʹ were resistant to M. incognita race 2, with the evidence of post-infectional nematode resistance to the nematode species

Abamectin is a blend of B1a and B1b avermectins that is being used as a seed treatment to control plant-parasitic nematodes on cotton. Data on the toxicity of abamectin and its effectiveness as a seed treatment to control Meloidogyne incognita or Rotylenchulus reniformis on cotton are lacking. The toxicity of abamectin was based on an assay of nematode mobility, LD50 values of 1.56 µg/ml and 32.9 µg/ml were calculated based on 2 hr exposure for M. incognita and R. reniformis, respectively. There was no recovery of either nematode after exposure for 1 hr to its LD50 concentration. Sublethal concentrations greater than 0.39 µg/ml for M. incognita and 8.2 µg/ml for R. reniformis reduced (P = 0.05) infectivity on tomato. In field trials, suppression (P = 0.05) of M. incognita was observed 32 DAP by abamectin seed treatment whereas no suppression of R. reniformis was observed. No suppression of M. incognita was perceived by abamectin seed treatment in microplots. Suppression of M. incognita was observed in microplots by harpinEA and harpingαβ as a seed treatment and foliar spray, respectively. Seed cotton yields were variable for abamectin-treated seed, but numerically positive for harpin-treated cotton. Initial gall formation on developing taproots was suppressed (P = 0.001), and penetration of 5-cm long taproots by M. incognita and R. reniformis was numerically suppressed by abamectin-treated compared to non-treated seed, but infection increased with root development. Using an assay of nematode mobility, the proportion of dead second-stage juveniles (J2) was higher (P = 0.05) following exposure to an excised radicle from abamectin-treated seed than non-treated seed, but lower (P = 0.05) than J2 exposed to the abamectin-treated seed coat. Thus a higher concentration of abamectin remained on the seed coat than emerging radicle. The concentration of abamectin transferred from the seed coat to the developing roots was limited, which contributed to the variability in suppression of plant-parasitic nematodes on cotton.

Sua noz é considerada a mais saborosa entre as nozes comercializadas. No Brasil, nos últimos anos, há uma expansão da macadamicultura e de seu plantio em cafezais. Além da sua consorciação com o cafeeiro, a macadâmia é uma opção de plantio em consórcio com outras culturas de ciclo curto e alternativa para o plantio em novas áreas. Embora haja um aumento da área plantada de macadâmia, as informações sobre danos causados por nematoides nessa cultura são escassas. Principalmente, aos nematoides-das-galhas, onde com frequência, as populações desses patógenos são altas em áreas cultivadas com café. No Brasil, a produção de mudas de macadâmia se dá quase que exclusivamente pelo método de enxertia, tendo como principal porta-enxerto a variedade 10-14 (Aloha). Portanto, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a resistência da variedade 10-14 (Aloha) e das cultivares HAES344, HAES-660, HAES 816, IAC 4-12B, IAC 9-20 e IAC 4-20 a Meloidogyne incognita raça 2, M. paranaensis, M. exigua, M. enterolobii e M. javanica, além de estudar o ciclo de vida dos nematoides-das-galhas na variedade 10-14 (Aloha) por ser a mais utilizada como porta-enxerto na produção de mudas. O substrato de cada parcela foi infestado com aproximadamente 5.000 ovos e eventuais juvenis dos nematoides estudados, separadamente, provenientes de populações puras, processadas segundo o método proposto por Hussey e Barker. Tomateiros ‘Rutgers’ foram utilizados como padrão de viabilidade do inóculo de M. incognita raça 2, de M. enterolobii e de M. javanica, plantas de café ‘Mundo Novo’ foram utilizadas para atestar a viabilidade de M. paranaensis e M. exigua. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco repetições. As avaliações foram feitas aos 120 dias após a inoculação. Os índices de galhas (IG) e índices de massas de ovos (IMO) foram obtidos de acordo com a escala de notas proposta por Taylor e Sasser. Para a obtenção do fator de reprodução (FR=PF/PI), os sistemas radiculares foram processados separadamente de acordo com o método de Coolen e D’Herde. Os experimentos para a avaliação do ciclo de vida das espécies de Meloidogyne foram montados em câmaras incubadoras (BOD) sob temperatura e fotoperíodo controlados. As plântulas de macadâmia, após a germinação, foram transplantadas para copos de 210 mL com substrato autoclavado. Para a obtenção do juvenil de segundo estágio (J2), os nematoides foram processados separadamente de acordo com a técnica proposta por Hussey e Barker, em seguida, as suspensões de cada espécie do nematoide foram colocadas em aparatos de Baermanns modificados para recipiente raso. Cinco dias após o transplante, cada plântula foi inoculada com 300 (J2) de M. incognita, M. paranaensis, M. exígua, M. enterolobii ou M. javanica. As avaliações foram aos 5, 15, 25 e 35 dias após a inoculação (DAI). Os sistemas radiculares das plantas foram lavados e coloridos com fucsina ácida para a classificação dos estádios de desenvolvimento do nematoide. Os resultados mostraram que todas as cultivares e a variedade 10-14 (Aloha) de macadâmia foram resistentes aos nematoides estudados, demostrando a resistência. Os nematoides não completaram o ciclo de vida na variedade 10-14 (Aloha), podendo ser utilizada como porta-enxerto na produção de mudas. / The macadamia nut belongs to the Proteaceae family, is originally from Australia, and is considered one of the most flavorful nuts in the market. In Brazil, macadamia nuts have been increasingly planted alongside coffee. In addition to its consortium with this crop, macadamia can also be planted alongside other short cycle cultures, and is also an alternative to planting in new areas. Although an increase in planted macadamia areas has been observed, information on nematode damage to this crop is scarce, mainly regarding root-knot nematodes, which are frequently observed in high populations in coffee crop areas. In Brazil, the production of macadamia seedlings occurs almost exclusively by the grafting method, with the 10-14 (Aloha) variety as the rootstock. In this context, the aim of this research was to evaluate the resistance of macadamia variety 10-14 (Aloha) and macadamia cultivars, HAES-344, HAES-660, HAES 816, IAC 4-12B, IAC 9-20 and IAC 4-20 to Meloidogyne incognita race 2, M. paranaensis, M. exigua, M. enterolobii and M. javanica, and to study the life cycle of root-knot nematodes in the variety 10-14 (Aloha), as it is the most frequent rootstock for seedling production. The substrate of each plot was infested with approximately 5,000 nematode eggs, separately, from pure populations processed according to the Hussey and Barker method. 'Rutgers' tomatoes were used as the viability standard for the M. incognita race 2, M. enterolobii and M. javanica inocula. 'Mundo Novo' coffee plants were used to confirm M. paranaensis and M. exigua viability. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five replications and the evaluations were carried out at 120 days after inoculation. The Gall index (GI) and egg mass index (EMI) were obtained according to the scale proposed by Taylor and Sasser. To calculate the reproduction factor (RF = PF/PI), the root systems were processed separately according to the Coolen and D'Herde method. The experiments carried out for the Meloidogyne species life cycle evaluation were mounted in incubators (BOD) under controlled temperature and photoperiod. After germination, Macadamia seedlings were transplanted into 210 mL bowls with autoclaved substrate. To obtain the juvenile second stage (J2), the nematodes were processed separately according to the technique proposed by Hussey and Barker. Suspensions of each nematode species were placed in a Baermanns apparatus, modified to a shallow container. Five days after transplantation, each seedling was inoculated with 300 (J2) M. incognita, M. paranaensis, M. exigua, M. enterolobii or M. javanica. Evaluations were carried out at 5, 15, 25 and 35 days post-inoculation (DPI). The plant root systems were washed and stained with acid fuchsin for nematode development stage classification. The results indicate that all macadamia cultivars and variety 10-14 (Aloha) were resistant to the studied nematodes, demonstrating resistance. The nematodes did not complete their life cycle on the 10-14 (Aloha) variety, indicating that it may be used as the rootstock for seedlings.

Orientador: Pedro Luiz Martins Soares / Coorientador: Jaime Maia dos Santos / Banca: Arlindo Leal Boiça Junior / Banca: Paulo Roberto Pala Martinelli / Resumo: A cana-de-açúcar é uma cultura de grande importância para o cenário agrícola brasileiro e mundial, devido a sua expansão pelo território nacional os nematoides são importantes pragas pelos danos econômicos expressivos causados na cultura. Na maioria dos casos, para o controle é empregado o uso de nematicidas químicos, que tem como desvantagem sua alta classe toxicológica, além da contaminação do meio ambiente. Em vista disso, há uma crescente busca para o uso de produtos que controlem os nematoides e sejam menos prejudiciais ao meio ambiente. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a eficácia de ácidos húmicos e fúlvicos (Hufmax®8.0) isolado e combinado com carbofurano (Furadan®350 SC) no controle de M. incognita e M. javanica in vitro e na cultura de cana-de-açúcar em vasos. Nos dois experimentos realizados o Hufmax® 8.0 proporcionou melhor controle dos nematoides estudados nas doses mais altas. Para o experimento in vitro as doses acima de 50% foram as que proporcionaram o melhor controle de M. javanica. Enquanto que no ensaio em vaso, as doses de 225 e 300 L/ha proporcionaram controle eficiente de M. javanica e M. incognita / Abstract: The sugar cane culture is a crop of great importance for the brazilian and world agricultural scenario, because of your expansion throughout the country the nematodes are important pests by considerable damage to the crop. In most cases, is employed the use of chemical nematicides to control, has the disadvantage that its high toxicity class, beyond the environmental contamination. In view of this, there's a crescent research for the use of products that control nematodes and are less harmful to the environment. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of humic and fulvic acid (Hufmax® 8.0) isolated and combined with carbofuran (Furadan® 350 SC) in control of M. incognita and M. javanica in vitro on culture of sugarcane in pots. In both experiments the Hufmax® 8.0 provided the best control of nematodes studied in higher doses. For the experiment in vitro doses above 50% were those that provided the better control of M. javanica. While in the test vessel, doses 225 and 300 L/ha gave effective control of M. javanica and M. incognita / Mestre

Em áreas de cultivo de beterraba, os nematoides das galhas, Meloidogyne spp., tem causado significativas perdas de rendimento devido aos danos causados nas raízes tuberosas, com interferência direta na classificação comercial do produto. Em decorrência da falta de informação sobre fontes de resistência e nível de dano das espécies Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica e M. enterolobii na cultura da beterraba, dois experimentos foram realizados em casa de vegetação, com os objetivos de avaliar a reação das cultivares Katrina, Early Wonder, Jolie, Rubra, Betollo, Kestrel e Boro ao parasitismo dos nematoides das galhas (Pi= 3.000 ovos + J2/planta) e o efeito de níveis de inóculo (Pi= 0, 333, 1.000, 3.000, 9.000 e 27.000 ovos + J2/planta) sobre as características vegetativas das cultivares Boro e Early Wonder. Para o teste de reação (experimento 1), as plantas foram inoculadas individualmente com 3.000 ovos + J2 de cada espécie de Meloidogyne e após 60 dias as variáveis, índice de galhas e de massas de ovos e o fator de reprodução foram determinados. Para o efeito dos níveis iniciais de inóculo dos nematoides (experimento 2), a altura da parte aérea, comprimento e diâmetro da raiz, massa fresca e seca da parte aérea e raiz, índice de galhas e de massas de ovos e o fator de reprodução foram avaliados 80 dias após a inoculação dos níveis populaci...

In areas of beetroot cultivation, root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., have caused significant yield losses due to damage caused in tuberous roots, with direct interference in the commercial classification of the product. Due to the lack of information about sources of resistance and damage level of the species Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica and M. enterolobii in the beetroot cultivation, two experiments were carried out in a greenhouse aiming at evaluating the reaction of cultivars Katrina, Early Wonder, Jolie, Rubra, Betollo, Kestrel and Boro to the parasitism of root-knot nematodes (Ip = 3,000 eggs + J2/plant) and the effect of inoculum levels (Ip= 0, 333, 1,000, 3,000, 9,000 and 27,000 eggs + J2/plant) on the vegetative characteristics of the cultivars Boro and Early Wonder. For the reaction test (experiment 1), the plants were individually inoculated with 3,000 + J2 eggs of each species of Meloidogyne and after 60 days, the variables gall and egg mass indexes and reproduction factor were determined. For the initial nematode inoculum levels (experiment 2), shoot height, root length and diameter, fresh and dry mass of shoots and roots, gall and egg mass indexes and reproduction factor were evaluated 80 days after inoculation of nematode population levels. All beetroot cultivars studied were susceptible to the parasitism of root-knot n... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor
