Yield Increases in Burrowing Nematode-infested Anthurium with Fluopyram and Trifloxystrobin Applications

HortTechnology, 2020
Burrowing nematode (Radopholus similis) causes severe stunting and yield reduction in anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) cut flower production. Two field trials were conducted at commercial grower farms to test the efficacy of fluopyram or fluopyram ...

Endophytic Non-Pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum-Derived Dual Benefit for Nematode Management and Improved Banana (Musa spp.) Productivity

Agriculture, 2022
The banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) and the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis represent two of the most important pests of bananas. Previously, colonization of banana plants by the non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum (isolate V5w2) and the ...

Control of the banana burrowing nematode using sisal extract [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2014
The nematode Radopholus similis is a major pest in banana plantations worldwide. This nematode is actually controlled using synthetic, toxic nematicides. Alternative control methods are therefore needed. For instance the liquid by-product of fiber extraction from sisal (Agave sisalana) may be used as a nematicide.

IN VITRO SCREENING FOR ANTHURIUM TOLERANCE TO BURROWING NEMATODE, RADOPHOLUS SIMILIS [PDF]

HortScience, 1996
Burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, reduces flower-yield-infected anthurium fields. Genetic resistance is one alternative to chemical control of the disease in anthurium. Seventeen commercial anthurium varieties, established in vitro on anthurium nutrient medium, were inoculated with burrowing nematodes to screen for tolerance.

Long‐term cattle grazing shifts the ecological state of forest soils

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Cattle grazing profoundly affects abiotic and biotic characteristics of ecosystems. While most research has been performed on grasslands, the effect of large managed ungulates on forest ecosystems has largely been neglected.

Dynamics of digging in wet soil [PDF]

, 2010
Numerous animals live in, and locomote through, subsea soils. To move in a medium dominated by frictional interactions, many of these animals have adopted unique burrowing strategies.

Molecular Diagnostics in the Mycosphaerella Leaf Spot Disease Complex of Banana and for Radopholus similis [PDF]

, 2009
Mycosphaerella leaf spots and nematodes threaten banana cultivation worldwide. The Mycosphaerella disease complex involves three related ascomycetous fungi: Mycosphaerella fijiensis, M. musicola and M. eumusae.

Saving the European eel : how morphological research can help in effective conservation management

, 2020
The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a critically endangered species, whose recruitment stocks have declined to nearly 1% compared to the late 70s. An amalgam of factors is responsible for this, among them migration barriers, pollution, habitat loss ...

Magnetosensitive neurons mediate geomagnetic orientation in Caenorhabditis elegans

eLife, 2015
Many organisms spanning from bacteria to mammals orient to the earth's magnetic field. For a few animals, central neurons responsive to earth-strength magnetic fields have been identified; however, magnetosensory neurons have yet to be identified in any ...

Draft Genome Sequence of Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii HP88, an Entomopathogenic Bacterium Isolated from Nematodes [PDF]

, 2016
Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii HP88 is an entomopathogenic bacterium that forms a symbiotic association with Heterorhabditis nematodes. We report here a 5.27-Mbp draft genome sequence for P. luminescens subsp.
