Evaluación de Paecilomyces lilacinus como controlador biológico de Meloidogyne exigua en el cultivo del café en la IV región

Con el objetivo de evaluar la efectividad del hongo paecilomyces lilacinus como controlador biológico de embriones de meloidogyne exigua y compararlo con el control químico de carbufuran en vivero de café (coffea arábica l.), se realizó entre los meses de abril a diciembre de 1986 en la estación experimental jardín botánico de masatepe, departamento de Carazo, la evaluación de seis tratamiento. El experimento se efectuó en una parcela de 37m2, con cinco repeticiones de un diseño experimental en bloques completo al azar. Se evaluaron las cuatro plantas centrales de cada parcela, en total 120 plantas. El manejo del experimento se basó en la técnica de reaislamiento, reproducción y aplicación de paecilomyces lilacinus del Dr. Parviz jalata (18) y siguiendo las técnica del cultivo del café utilizada en la lV región. Los tratamiento comparados; 3 dosis de arroz cubiertos de colonias de paecilomyces lilacinus; 15 gramos, 10gramos y 5 gramos, respectivamente, furadan 5G a la dosis de 5 gramos y todos los anteriores, incluyendo el testigo relativo con una aplicación de 1000 larvas de meloidogyne exigua por cada planta y un testigo absoluto; todos en bolsas de polietileno con capacidad de 2 kilos de suelo. Los tratamientos que presentaron mejor control de la población nematologica son paecilomyces lilacinus a razón de 5g. y furadan 5G a razón de 5g. y el testigo absoluto. En condiciones de laboratorio se comprobó la efectividad del hongo, donde la agresividad para destruir embriones de meloidogyne exigua fue directamente proporcional a la mayor concentración de esporas del hongo (1 *10 esporas/ml) y al tiempo de exposición a este

Levantamento de Meloidogyne exigua na cultura da seringueira em São José do Rio Claro, MT, Brasil

Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de efetuar um levantamento da ocorrência de Meloidogyne exigua em seringueira em São José do Rio Claro, MT. Foram amostradas 191 propriedades agrícolas, totalizando cerca de 18.000ha. Os nematóides foram identificados no Laboratório de Nematologia do Departamento de Fitossanidade da FCAV/UNESP, em Jaboticabal, SP. Foram encontrados níveis populacionais de M. exigua entre 0 e 61.824 juvenis/5g de raízes.

Caracterização das fases de desenvolvimento de células gigantes induzidas por Meloidogyne exigua em raiz de seringueira (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.)

The developmental phases of giant cells induced by root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne exigua) in rubber plant (Hevea brasiliensis) root were studied in relation to its number and size evaluated in eight sample dates. The results were subject to cluster analysis and principal component analysis. Sample dates were clearly distinct regarding giant cell development. As a result, the nematode infestation cycle was characterized by the following sequential phases: initial, equilibrium, choice and final.

Cuticular Hydrocarbons of Buffalo Fly, Haematobia exigua, and Chemotaxonomic Differentiation from Horn Fly, H.irritans

We determined the quantity and chemical composition of cuticular hydrocarbons of different strains, sex and age of buffalo flies, Haematobia exigua. The quantity of cuticular hydrocarbons increased from less than 1 µg/fly for newly-emerged flies to over 11 µg/fly in 13 d-old flies. The hydrocarbon chain length varied from C21 to C29, with unbranched alkanes and monounsaturated alkenes the major components. Newly emerged flies produced almost exclusively C27 hydrocarbons. Increasing age was accompanied by the appearance of hydrocarbons with shorter carbon chains and an increase in the proportion of alkenes. 11 Tricosene and 7-tricosene were the most abundant hydrocarbons in mature buffalo flies. Cuticular hydrocarbons of buffalo flies are distinctly different from those of horn flies. The most noticeable differences were in the C23 alkenes, with the major isomers 11- and 7-tricosene in buffalo flies and (Z)-9- and (Z)-5-tricosene in horn flies, respectively. Cuticular hydrocarbon analysis provides a reliable method to differentiate buffalo and horn fly, which are difficult to separate morphologically. The differences in cuticular hydrocarbons also support their recognition as separate species, H. exigua and H. irritans, rather than as subspecies.

Resistance of selected strawberry cultivars to root-knot nematode species (Meloidogyne spp.)

Strawberry runner production areas in Queensland are assessed for the presence of Pratylenchus vulnus (lesion nematode) and Meloidogyne hapla (root-knot nematode) as part of the approval process for sites used in runner production under the approved runner scheme. M. hapla is known to infest strawberry. The ability of three other Meloidogyne species occurring in Queensland to infest this host was investigated. The species M. arenaria, M. incognita and M. javanica, in addition to M. hapla, were able to reproduce on strawberry roots of the cultivar 'Joy', which sustained higher nematode reproduction rates than 'Jewel' and 'Sweet Charlie'. The ability of species other than M. hapla to infest strawberry needs to be recognised in site selection for runner production, and in screening cultivars for resistance to nematodes.

Resistance of Brassicaceae plants to root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) in northern Australia

Brassicaceae plants have the potential as part of an integrated approach to replace fumigant nematicides, providing the biofumigation response following their incorporation is not offset by reproduction of plant-parasitic nematodes on their roots. Forty-three Brassicaceae cultivars were screened in a pot trial for their ability to reduce reproduction of three root-knot nematode isolates from north Queensland, Australia: M. arenaria (NQ1), M. javanica (NQ2) and M. arenaria race 2 (NQ5/7). No cultivar was found to consistently reduce nematode reproduction relative to forage sorghum, the current industry standard, although a commercial fodder radish (Raphanus sativus) and a white mustard (Sinapis alba) line were consistently as resistant to the formation of galls as forage sorghum. A second pot trial screened five commercially available Brassicaceae cultivars, selected for their biofumigation potential, for resistance to two nematode species, M. javanica (NQ2) and M. arenaria (NQ5/7). The fodder radish cv. Weedcheck, was found to be as resistant as forage sorghum to nematode reproduction. A multivariate cluster analysis using the resistance measurements, gall index, nematode number per g of root and multiplication for two nematode species (NQ2 and NQ5/7) confirmed the similarity in resistance between the radish cultivar and forage sorghum. A field trial confirmed the resistance of the fodder radish cv. Weedcheck, with a similar reduction in the number of Meloidogyne spp. juveniles recovered from the roots 8 weeks after planting. The use of fodder radish cultivars as biofumigation crops to manage root-knot nematodes in tropical vegetable production systems deserves further investigation.
