SHAHINA; M.A. MAQBOOL; A. GHAFFAR Abstract: The reaction of 9 varieties of wheat to Anguina tritici was studied under green house conditions. Resistance rating based on infected spikes showed that cvs. Zamindar and local White were resistant while Pak-70 was highly susceptible Fri, 20 Jan 1989 00:00:00 GMT http://localhost:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/17630 1989-01-20T00:00:00Z http://localhost:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/17625 Title: EVALUATION OF BIOCONTROL AGENT PAECILOMYCES LILACINUS AND CARBOFURAN FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ROTYLENCHULUS RENIFORMIS INFECTING BRINJAL* Authors: REDDY, P. PARVATHA; KHAN, R.M Abstract: The effect of Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom.) Samson alone and in combination with carbofuran @ 0.5 and 1.0 kg a.i. per ha was studied on the management of reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford and Oliveira infecting brinjal, Solanum melangena L. Inoculation of plants with P. lilacinus grown on 4 g sterilized rice was effective in increasing plant height and root weight and in reducing the nematode population both in soil and roots. The fungus gave least reproduction factor and increased the percentage of males. P. lilacinus infected both eggs and mature females of the reniform nematode.

BABATOLA Abstract: Studies of the effects of poultry manure, cow dung, horse dung, fruit canning factory waste and burnt township refuse on some plant-parasitic nematodes affecting tomato (Lycoparsicon esculentum) were carried out at Ibadan. All soil amendments were applied at 2 levels each. Poultry manure and cow dung were superior to all other organiz manures in terms of growth, vigour and yield. Although citrus fruit canning factory waste gave good nematode control, the fruit yield was very poor because of poor seedling survival and establishment. Burnt township refuse gave highest increase in soil organic matter content while poultry manure gave highest increase in Phosphorus content of the soil. Root gall rating at the end of the trial were significantly reduced by all organic manures. Populations of all nematodes fell immediately after application of soil amendments but rose gradually thereafter.

The population of stunt nematode gradually decreased with an increase in concentration of the extracts and the dip duration. The nematode also retarded water absorption efficiency of roots, but improvement in plant growth due to various dip treatments caused an increase in water absorption efficiency.
