Most sweet potato-producing regions in South Africa are heavily infested by the root
knot (Meloidogyne species) nematodes, which are difficult to manage since the
withdrawal of the highly effective fumigant synthetic ...
Phytonematicides, mainly due to their allelopathic nature, might be highly phytotoxic to
crops protected against nematode damage. Phytotoxicity issues are compounded by
the fact that the efficacy of plant extracts on ...
Worldwide, root-knot (Meloidogyne species) nematodes are considered to be the
most important and damaging genus in crop husbandry. The existence of a wide
host range, over 2000 plants, and several biological races, ...
Root-knot (Meloidogyne species) nematodes are host to most plant species, with the
success of most crops being dependent upon proper nematode management tactics.
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is highly susceptible ...
Nemafric-BL and Nemarioc-AL phytonematicides, which are being researched
and developed to serve as alternatives to methyl bromide, have not been tested
against plant growth and accumulation of essential nutrient elements ...
Plant-parasitic nematodes inflict economic damages on vegetable and field crops due to a lack of suitable crop protection chemicals and integrated crop management practices. Toxic synthetic chemical nematicides were withdrawn ...
Cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultigens do not have resistant genotypes
to root-knot (Meloidogyne species) nematodes. Currently, efforts are underway to
introgress nematode resistance in potato breeding ...
Worldwide, both root-knot (Meloidogyne species) and sugarcane aphid (Melanaphis
sacchari Zehntner), are economic pests on sugarcane and sorghum crops. In most
cases, each of the two pests is managed using host plant ...
The production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants had been crucial in various
parts of the world since tomato fruit contribute widely to human health. However, most
tomato cultivars had been shown to be highly ...
Pelargonium sidoides has numerous medicinal applications, with economic potential to
serve as a future cultigen in smallholder farming systems. However, it is highly
susceptible to the root-knot (Meloidogyne species) ...
Phytonematicides have allelochemicals as active ingredients and could be highly
phytotoxic on crops being protected against nematode damage. In order to avoid
phytotoxicity, the application concentration, technically ...
Root-knot (Meloidogyne species) nematodes are economically destructive pathogens of over 3000 species, whereas others have resistance to Meloidogyne species. Wild watermelon (Cucumis africanus) and wild cucumber (Cucumis ...
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 ...
The unique phytochemical composition of the medicinal plant cancer bush (Sutherlandia frutescens) have made its foliage to gain much attention in South Africa due to its health benefits. In situ harvesting of the plant ...
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is highly susceptible to root-knot (Meloidogyne species)
nematodes, with no known nematode resistant genotypes. In Limpopo Province, two
cucurbitacin-containing phytonematicides had been ...
The successful cultivation of nightshade (Solanum retroflexum) as a leafy vegetable with
the nutritional potential of contributing to food security in marginalised communities of
Limpopo Province could be limited by ...
Available potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars do not have any genotype that is
resistant to the root-knot (Meloidogyne species) nematodes. Due to the susceptibility of
potato cultivars to Meloidogyne species, ...
Tseke, Pontsho Edmund(University of Limpopo, 2013)
Two phytonematicides were researched and developed from fermented crude extracts
of wild watermelon (Cucumis africanus) and wild cucumber (Cucumis myriocarpus)
fruits for use as alternatives to methyl bromide in managing ...
