response of cotton to infection by hoplolaimus columbus.three field experiments were established in 1987 to determine the reaction of five cotton cultivars to infection by hoplolaimus columbus and the efficacy of selected nematicides against this nematode. at two sites in calhoun county, south carolina, early season plant growth and subsequent yields were greater in plots treated with aldicarb, fenamiphos, and 1,3-dichloropropene. hoplolaimus columbus suppressed yields approximately 10% at site 1 and 25% at site 2; however, greater yield suppression ...198819290310
potential of crops uncommon to alabama for management of root-knot and soybean cyst nematodes.vigna unguiculata, cassia fasiculata, and sesamum indicum did not support meloidogyne arenaria, m. incognita, or heterodera glycines race 4 in greenhouse studies with soils from peanut and soybean fields. fagopyron eseulentum, cyamopsis tetragonoloba, and cucurbita pepo were hosts to the two meloidogyne spp. but were nonhosts to h. glycines. meloidogyne arenaria and m. incognita galled but reproduced poorly in the roots of three types of amaranthus cruentus, and low densities of these two meloid ...198819290317
crop rotation and races of meloidogyne incognita in cotton root-knot management.the influence o f various crop rotations and nematode inoculum levels on subsequent population densities of meloidogyne incognita races 1 and 3 were studied in microplots. ten different 3-year sequences o f cotton, corn, peanut, or soybean, all with cotton as the 3rd-year crop, were grown in microplots infested with each race. cotton monoculture, two seasons o f corn, or cotton followed by corn resulted in high race 3 population densities and severe root galling on cotton the 3rd year. peanut fo ...198419294030
penetration and postinfection development of meloidogyne incognita on cotton as affected by glomus intraradices and phosphorus.the influence of the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus glomus intraradices (gi) and superphosphate (p) on penetration, development, and reproduction of meloidogyne incognita (mi) was studied on the mi-susceptible cotton cultivar stoneville 213 in an environmental chamber at 28 c. plants were inoculated with mi eggs at planting or after 28 days and destructively sampled 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after nematode inoculation. mi penetration after 7 days was similar in all treatments at either ino ...198619294207
influence of soil temperature on meloidogyne incognita resistant and susceptible cotton, gossypium hirsutum.the degree of resistance by a cotton plant to meloidogyne incognita is affected by soil temperature, particularly in moderately resistant cultivars, the total number of nematodes in the resistant and moderately resistant rools at 35 c was equal to, or greater than, the number in susceptible roots at 20, 25, or 30 c. a shift in numbers to developing and egg-bearing forms of nematodes in the susceptible cultivar as tentperature increased indicates development was affected by temperature rather tha ...198219295718
parasitic variability of meloidogyne incognita populations on susceptible and resistant cotton.root gall induction and egg production by the four recognized host races and two cytological races of meloidogyne incognita were compared on cotton gossypium hirsutum cvs. deltapine 16 (root-knot susceptible) and auburn 634 (highly resistant). the 12 nematode populations included in the study were from various parts of the world. no population increases occurred on the highly resistant cultivar. after 45 days, populations of host races 1 and 2 induced slight root galling on both cuhivars with on ...198319295806
resistant germplasm in gossypium species and related plants to rotylenchulus reniformis.gossypium hirsutum, g. herbaceum, g. arboreum, g. barbadense, wild gossypium spp., hibiscus spp, and other malvaceae were tested in the greenhouse to identify germplasm resistant to rotylenchulus reniformis (rr). host resistance was based on rr egg production per gram of root compared with known g. hirsutum susceptible 'deltapine 16' as check. g. longicalyx and sida rhombifolia were nonhosts. high levels of resistance were found in g. stocksii, g. somalense, and g. barbadense 'texas 110.' other ...198419295892
nematicides and nonconventional soil amendments in the management of root-knot nematode on cotton.granular and liquid commercial humates, with micronutrients, and a microbial fermentation product were compared in several combinations with nematicides for their effects on cotton lint yield and root-knot nematode suppression. fumigant nematicides effectively reduced cotton root galling caused by root-knot nematodes, and cotton lint yields increased. organophosphates and carbamates were not effective. occasionally, cotton lint yields were increased or maintained with combination treatments o f ...198419295893
influence of aphelenchus avenae on vesicular-arbuscular endomycorrhizal growth response in cotton.the influence of aphelenchus avenae on the relationship between cotton (gossypium hirsutum 'stoneville 213') and gigaspora margarita or glomus etunicatus was assessed by its effect on the mycorrhizal stimulation of plant growth and microorganism reproduction. the mycophagous nematode usually did not suppress stimulation of shoot growth resulting from mycorrhizae (g. margarita) at inoculum levels of 3,000 or 6,000 nematodes per pot, but retarded root growth at 6,000 per pot. when the nematode ino ...198119300721
interaction of population levels of fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum and meloidogyne incognita on cotton.in autoclaved greenhouse soil without fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum, meloidogyne incognita did not cause leaf or vascular discoloration of 59-day-old cotton plants. plants had root galls with as few as 50 meloidogyne larvae per plant. root galling was directly proportional to the initial nematode population level. fusarium wilt symptoms occurred without nematodes with 77,000 fungus propagules or more per gram of soil. as few as 50 meloidogyne larvae accompanying 650 fungus propagules cau ...197919305546
granular nematicides as adjuncts to fumigants for control of cotton root-knot nematodes.growth and yield of cotton were best with combinations of fumigants and organophosphate and carbamate nematicides. organophosphates or carbamates used alone did not give season-long control of root-knot nematodes. long-term control was poor because the temporary sublethal effects of these materials diminished soon enough lhat the nematodes could reproduce. the nematodes survived the treatments and a year of nonhost culture, and damaged a susceptible host crop 2 years after treatment. no such dam ...197919305548
effects of subsoiling and nematicides on hoplolaimus columbus populations and cotton yield.subsoiling to a depth of 35 cm under the planting row for 3 consecutive years increased annual yields of seed cotton by 50 to 200%. annual subsoiling was essential for maximum yields. the application of a nematicide, 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (dbcp) or aldicarb, reduced the population of hoplolaimus columbus but did not increase seed-cotton yields over subsoiling alone. subsoiling reduced h. columbus in the top 20 cm of soil since the treatment favored deeper penetration by much of the root sy ...197719305573
terpenoid aldehydes in cotton roots susceptible and resistant to the root-knot nematode, meloidogyne incognita.we investigated the role of terpenoid aldehydes in the resistance of cotton (gossypium hirsutum) to the root-knot nematode (meloidogyne incognita). three-day-old, root-knot-resistant ('auburn 623') and -susceptible ('deltapine 16') seedlings were inoculated with m. incognita. comparable portions of inoculated and noninoculated roots were harvested 2, 4, 7, and 10 days later. terpenoid aldehydes were extracted, separated by thin-layer chromatography, eluted as their phloroglucinol derivatives, an ...197719305600
interaction of pratylenchus brachyurus and gigaspora margarita on cotton.an endomycorrhizal fungus, gigaspora margarita, was more effective in stimulating the growth of cotton (gossypium hirsutum) 'coker 201' at a low fertility level (1.77 gm 10-10-10 n-p-k/pot) than doubling the fertility rate for nonmycorrhizal plants. gigaspora margarita alone stimulated shoot growth (height, weight, and flower production by 96%, 553%, and 760%, respectively) and root growth (385%) over that of nonmycorrhizal controls at low fertility. plant development was also stimulated by g. m ...197819305806
seasonal population dynamics of selected plant-parasitic nematodes on four monocultured crops.seasonal fluctuations in field populations of meloidogyne incognita, pratylenchus zeae, p. brachyurus, criconemoides ornatus, trichodorus christiei, and helicotylenchus dihystera on monocultured corn, cotton, peanut, and soybean were determined monthly for 4 yr. population densities of m. incognita were greater in corn and cotton plots than in peanut and soybean plots from july until january. those of pratylenchus spp. were greater on corn and soybean than on cotton and peanut during all months ...197419308120
dynamics of concomitant field populations of hoplolaimus columbus and meloidogyne incognita.from the fall of 1968 through the summer of 1973, a georgia cotton field with a lengthy history of the cotton stunt disease complex was sampled for the presence of plant parasitic nematodes. although meloidogyne incognita was recovered on all sampling dates, concomitant populations of hoplolaimus columbus were not recovered until the spring of 1970. during the succeeding four growing seasons, the population density and horizontal distribution of h. columbus increased, and h. columbus replaced m. ...197419308121
autoradiography of developing syncytia in cotton roots infected with meloidogyne incognita.cotton (gossypium hirsutum) seedlings, uniformly infected with meloidogyne incognita, were exposed for periods of 1-15 days to a nutrient solution containing tritium-labelled thymidine. syncytium formation began with the amalgamation of cells near the nematode head, and was followed by synchronized mitoses of the nuclei which had been incorporated into a single cell. syncytial nuclei synthesized dna in roots harvested 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days after inoculation. seedlings transferred from unlabel ...197519308135
crop rotation and herbicide effects on population densities of plant-parasitic nematodes.the influence of herbicides and mono- and multicropping sequences on population densities of nematode species common in corn, cotton, peanut, and soybean fields in the southeastern united states was studied for 4 years. each experimental plot was sampled at monthly intervals. the application of herbicides did not significantly affect nematode population densities. meloidogyne incognita and trichodorus christiei increased rapidly on corn and cotton, but were suppressed by peanut and soybean. more ...197519308149
effects of soil temperatures and inoculum levels of meloidogyne incognita and rhizoctonia solani on seedling disease of cotton.soreshin of cotton was more severe from combined infections of rhizoctonia solani and meloidogyne incognita than from either organism alone, when both critical soil temperature and inoculum concentrations were present. optimum soil temperatures for disease development from combined infections were 18 and 21 c. either 2,500 or 5,000 m. incognita larvae per plant, combined with r. solani, increased seedling disease severity over that caused by r. solani alone. when 100 or 500 larvae per plant were ...197519308161
effects of soil texture on the interaction between rhizoctonia solani and meloidogyne incognita on cotton seedlings.soils containing 60, 75, and 90% coarse particles (sand plus coarse silt) were prepared by dilution of a field soil with 246microm (60-mesh) silica sand. as the coarse-particle content of the soils increased, the synergistic interaction between meloidogyne incognita and rhizoctonia solani on cotton seedlings increased. increasing the coarse-particle content of the soil also increased damage from the nematode alone and slightly increased soreshin damage from r. solani alone.197519308162
effects of light intensity and quality effects on reproduction of plant-parasitic nematodes.growing cotton in a greenhouse with 12-h of supplemental light [8,608 lux (800 ft-c) from combination of mercury and lucalux lamps] resulted in 2 x to > 3 x greater reproduction of meloidogyne incognita and belonolaimus longicaudatus as compared to natural light alone. rate of increase of hoplolaimus galeatus was affected little in this experiment. in a second experiment under controlled conditions in a phytotron, light source and intensity had greater influence on the reproduction of heterodera ...197519308183
interactions of concomitant species of nematodes and fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum on cotton.meloidogyne incognita, hoplolaintus galeatus, and north carolina and georgia populations of belonolaimus longicaudatus were introduced singly and in various combinations with fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum on wilt-susceptible 'rowden' cotton. of all the nematodes, the combination of the n. c. population of b. longicaudatus with fusarium promoted greatest wilt development. h. galeatus had no effect on wilt. with fusarium plus m. incognito or b. longicaudatus, high nematode levels promoted ...197619308201
the influence of trichoderma harzianum on the root-knot fusarium wilt complex in cotton.wilt-susceptible cultivar 'rowden' cotton was inoculated wilh meloidogyne incognita (n), trichoderma harzianum (t), and fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum (f) alone and in all combinations in various time sequences. plants inoculated with f alone or in combination with t did not develop wilt, simultaneous inoculation of 7-day-old seedlings with all three organisms (ntf) produced earliest wilt. however, plants receiving nematodes at 7 days and fusarium and trichoderma at 2 or 4 weeks later (n- ...197619308202
the myb transcription factor ghmyb25 regulates early fibre and trichome development.little is still known about the developmental control of the long seed coat trichomes of cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.). in arabidopsis, leaf trichome initiation is regulated by a group of well-defined transcription factors that includes myb and homeodomain types. many mybs are expressed in fibres, but their roles in fibre development remain unclear. we analysed the function of one myb transcription factor, ghmyb25, identified from transcriptome comparisons between wild-type and fibreless cotton ...200919309462
influence of concomitant pratylenchus brachyurus and meloidogyne spp. on root penetration and population dynamics.populations of pratylenchus brachyurus on cotton were increased significantly in the presence of either meloidogyne incognita or m. arenaria.this occurred with either simultaneous inoculation or prior invasion by m. incognita. p. brachyurus penetrated cotton roots previously invaded by, or simultaneously inoculated with, m. incognita, as well as, or better than, in the absence of m. incognita. prior invasion by m. incognita, however, suppressed p. brachyurus populations on tomato, while it had n ...197319319334
inhibition of rotylenchulus reniformis penetration of tomato and cotton roots with foliar applications of oxamyl.foliar applications of oxamyl (methyl n', n'-dimethyl-n-[(methylcarbamoyl)oxy]-l-thiooxamimidate) were applied 24 hr before transplanting seedlings to soil infested with rotylenchulus reniformis. with a single application of oxamyl, tomato seedlings required 600 ppm to significantly inhibit r. reniformis penetration. cotton seedlings, however, required a single application of 2400 ppm for significant inhibition of penetration, but only 600 ppm when two or more applications were used.197319319336
resistance of cotton to the root-knot nematode, meloidogyne incognita.cotton plants resistant to meloidogyne incognita had roots characterized by fewer and smaller galls, and females that produced fewer egg masses containing fewer eggs than did susceptible plants. many galls on resistant roots contained no nematodes at the time of examination. penetration of the resistant cultivar was equal to that of the susceptible cultivar and independent of the number of nematodes in the inoculum. fewer nematodes penetrated resistant or susceptible plants with eight leaves tha ...197419319358
