Radopholus similis Reduced Banana (Musa AAA) Leaf Photosynthesis | Chapter 2 | Research Highlights in Science and Technology Vol. 3

The effect of Radopholus similis on person who teases (Musa AAA cv. Grande Naine) leaf photosynthesis was persistent during all of four experiments that were achieved activity under lathhouse environments. In vitro plants were cultivated in marijuana of 1.8 L book property entirely clean or unsterilized soil from a commercial person who kids farm. In the first experiment all along the three weighing occasions (7 am, 10 am, and 1 pm), at 45 days following in position or time additional dose of vaccine, the best photosynthesis rate was noticed in the plants naive nematodes and mean in those plants inoculated following 500 (506 ± 18) R. similis per cauldron. In the judgment at 10 am a decline of 46% (P= 0.0307) in the photosynthesis rate was establish plants immunized following R. similis that were grown in the entirely clean person who teases soil. In the second experiment, afterwards 75 days of the immunization, from the six photosynthesis fate periods (6-7, 8-9, and 10-11 am or 12-1, 1-2 and 2-3 pm) accompanying irregularity of that at 2-3 pm, highest in rank photosynthesis rate was noticed in the plants innocent nematodes. Reductions in the photosynthesis rate following nematode additional dose of vaccine varied between 12 and 36% at 6-7 am, 'tween 13 and 57% at 8-9 am, betwixt 32 and 57% at 10-11 am, and middle from two points 16 and 65% at 12-1 pm, and between 13 and 47% at 1-2 pm. The photosynthesis rate belittled linearly as the number of R. similis immunized raised in the evaluations of 8-9 (P= 0.0070) and 10-11 am (P= 0.0049) or 12-1 pm (P= 0.0048) and 1-2 pm (P= 0.0255). In the tertiary experiment, a photosynthetic light backlash curve was persistent at 75 days following available or time additional dose of vaccine show that the extent under curve of the potential adjustment rate of the plants immunized following 1500 (1564 ± 49) R. similis was reduced (P= 0.0153) by 70% famous to non-immunized plants.  At the last experiment, major computer network adaptation rate curve at 4 (P< 0.0001), 11 (P= 0.0340) and 25 (P= 0.0127) days later nematode inoculation was more exaggerated on the plants innocent nematodes. So, in the four experiments, hostile photosynthetic rate was in consideration of the plants contaminated by R. similis.

Identifying the Races of Meloidogyne Incognita Populations in Assam, India| Chapter 10 | Current Overview on Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 The present hearing was carried out to identify the races of M. incognita infest vegetable crop like attractive woman in Assam, India. Diagnosis of species and races of Meloidogyne has always existed challenging on account of highly similar morphologically across variety, life stages in different residences, variable host ranges, poorly outlined boundaries among class, intraspecific variability, potential hybrid inception and polyploidy. Differential hosts are used to detect pathogenic alternative within root-knot nematode isolates or species. Accurate and exact identification of Meloidogyne variety is based on a combination of various methods viz., semantic characteristics and morphometrics, host desires, biochemical and molecular techniques are all evenly important.

Identification of Nematodes Associated with Citrus Trees in Dalanj Area, Sudan| Chapter 6 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 4

 The distinguishing objectives concerning this study were to survey and label the types of nematodes associated with citrus trees in the Dalanj extent; to determine contamination level, and to examine few botanical extracts in ruling (Xiphinema basiri) in citrus. The Bearman funnel method was used to extract the juveniles from the soil. Nematode identification is primarily established the nematode's body calculations. Water extracts were used to make horticultural extracts. After 24, 48, and 72 hours, the mortality rates of juveniles were written. The species was recognized as Xiphinema basiri based on semantic characteristics of the nematode. Juvenile mortality rates raised as concentration and uncovering time raised.The extracts from the bark of Punica grantum, seeds of Moringa oleifera, and sources of Croton zambesias, were found expected extremely toxic to juveniles of Xiphinema basiri (35.33, 30.33, and 26.33%), individually, after 72 employment recruiting and management, at a concentration of 10.000 ppm, distinguished to the average mortality rates of juveniles doctored with Cassia senna leaves and Moringa olifera (21and 19.67%). At 100ppm, all floral extracts had low mortality rates of 24.67-10% subsequently 72 hours, with only the extract from the bark of Punica grantum show mortality rates above 20% by any means exposure occasions. The seed extracts all had greater nematicidal activity than the leaf extracts.

Investigation on the Effect of Azadirachtin Pretreatment on Major Pests, Diseases and Yield of Seed Yam| Chapter 6 | New Perspectives in Agriculture and Crop Science Vol. 3

 

Pests and diseases infested with seed yam content have resulted in sub-optimal yield levels. Neem has been used as a supplement for chemical pesticides and as an environmentally friendly bio-pesticide to minimise annual crop losses due to herbivorous pests and their resulting diseases. Field trials were performed in four communities in each of the Ejura-Sekyedumase and Atebubu-Amantin districts of the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions during the major planting seasons of 2016 and 2017. Yam miniset sizes were pre-treated with 100 g of Mancozeb and 40 mL of Lambda cyhalothrin in 10 L of cocktail water. Yam minisettes of 30 g each were planted on ridges between 100 cm and 30 cm in rows on a plot size of 20 m x 20 m. Five rows per plot were applied with Neem leaf powder and another five acted as an evaluation check. Harvesting was carried out after planting for approximately 6 to 7 months. Scale flies, mealybugs, infestation of beetles, termites, and millipedes. On a scale of 1-5, galling due to rootknot nematodes, cracks, soft and wet rot was evaluated. Yields from tubers were also measured. Compared to the control plots, Neem treated plots were found to have substantially reduced arthropod pest populations and nematode galling as well as damage signs. Seed yam yields on the neem treated plots were higher than the control yields, possibly due to reduced damage to the treated plots. For parcels treated with Azadirachta indica leaves, seed yam yield increased by 40 and 41 percent respectively in the Ejura-Sekyedumase district and 45 and 20 percent in the Atebubu-Amantin district for 2016 and 2017. In terms of parameters calculated and subsequently converted into yield, plots of seed yams treated with neem reported reduced pests and damage. The adoption of neem leaf powder as a pre-treatment for greater productivity is paramount for seed yam producers.

Critical Study of the Diversity and Abundance of Nematodes in Pollution Prone Urban and Rural Areas of Thiruvananthapuram District in Kerala, South India | Chapter 10 | International Research in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol.3

 Nematodes represent a very abundant group of soil organisms in the food web and are important for

soil quality. In the present study, the diversity of nematodes in the soils of urban and rural areas of
Thiruvananthapuram District was noted and their densities calculated. Different categories of land use
areas (coastal area, sewage disposal area, industrial area, road-side area, agricultural area, gasoline
station area and market area) in rural and urban parts of Thiruvananthapuram District receiving
different types of contaminants were selected after conducting a reconnaissance survey. Control
stations which are in a benign environment were also identified in both rural and urban areas of
Thiruvananthapuram District in Kerala, South India. Soil samples were collected in pre-monsoon,
monsoon and post-monsoon seasons during the period April 2009 to January 2010 from the selected
stations. The soil nematodes were identified and their abundance calculated following standard
procedures. The results showed that the soils in the market area are having the highest nematode
abundance and diversity index. It was also noted that the nematodes were scarce in the soils of
gasoline station area contaminated with hazardous wastes and chemicals which will unfavorably
affect the nematode population. The nematode abundance in the soils of the study stations are in the
order: market area > sewage disposal area > agricultural area > benign environment > industrial area
> road-side area > gasoline station area > coastal area. The present study showed that the
nematodes can act as bioindicators of pollution as their numbers diminished in contaminated soils.
