influence of criconemella xenoplax and pruning time on short life of peach trees. | influences of criconemella xenoplax and pruning dates were studied in field microplots with 'nemaguard' peach cuttings on a site not previously planted to peaches. trees with or without c. xenoplax were pruned beginning in december 1984 or march 1985. peach tree short life (ptsl) did not occur in the absence of c. xenoplax. ptsl occurred earlier in december-pruned than in march-pruned inoculated trees. results confirm that "old" peach sites are not required for ptsl to occur. pruning nemaguard a ... | 1990 | 19287694 |
additional hosts for the ring nematode, criconemella xenoplax. | some common legumes and weeds indigenous to peach orchards in south carolina were tested in greenhouse experiments to determine their host suitability for criconemella xenoplax. legumes that were hosts for the nematode were dwarf english trefoil (lotus corniculatus var. arvensis), big trefoil (l. uliginosis), birdsfoot trefoil (l. corniculatus), narrowleaf birdsfoot trefoil (l. tenuis), ball clover (trifolium nigrescens), rose clover (t. hirtum), subterranean clover (t. subterraneum), striate le ... | 1990 | 19287692 |
an assay for hirsutella rhossiliensis spores and the importance of phialides for nematode inoculation. | a spore assay was developed to measure the relative density of spores of the nematophagous fungus hirsutella rhossiliensis in soil. orchard soil containing h. rhossiliensis-parasitized criconemella xenoplax was placed in vials and incubated for 0-120 days before the addition of probe nematodes, heterorhabditis heliothidis juveniles. after 18 hours, h. heliothidis were extracted from the soil and examined for adhering spores of h. rhossiliensis. no spores were detected when h. heliothidis were ad ... | 1989 | 19287601 |
peach leaf senescence delayed by criconemella xenoplax. | fall annual leaf senescence of peach was delayed in the field and in microplots in the presence of criconemella xenoplax. soil from the rhizosphere of orchard trees with greener leaves had ca. 2.5 x more nematodes than soil around trees in a more advanced state of fall senescence. in microplots, monoclonal antibody enzyme immunoassay (eia) of leaf cytokinins indicated that concentration of zeatin riboside-like substances and chlorophyll content were greater in leaves of trees growing in nematode ... | 1988 | 19290258 |
behavior, parasitism, morphology, and biochemistry of criconemella xenoplax and c. ornata on peach. | host-parasite relationships of criconemella xenoplax and c. ornata on nemaguard peach and common bermudagrass were determined in the greenhouse. criconemella xenoplax reproduced on peach and reduced root volume, height, and dry stem weight after 6 months, compared with the noninfested check. numbers of c. ornata did not increase on peach or influence peach growth, but they did reduce dry top weight and root volume of common bermudagrass, compared with c. xenoplax. criconemella xenoplax and c. or ... | 1988 | 19290183 |
criconemella spp. in pennsylvania peach orchards with morphological observations of c. curvata and c. ornata. | criconemella xenoplax and c. curvata, previously associated with decline of peach trees in other parts of the united states, were found in 20 of 25 pennsylvania peach orchards. population densities were high in some samples. morphometrics of juveniles and adult females of criconemella curvata and c. ornata, are provided. cuticular crenations were observed on j2 and j3 stages of c. curvata and j2-j4 stages of c. ornata. | 1987 | 19290165 |
effect of initial population density of criconemella xenoplax on reducing sugars, free amino acids, and survival of peach seedlings over time. | percentage of mortality, growth suppression, and changes in free amino acid and reducing sugar content in root and (or) stem tissue of nemaguard peach seedlings were studied in the greenhouse in relation to time and eight different initial population densities (pi) of criconemella xenoplax. after 90 and 180 days, free amino acid content in root tissue significantly increased with increasing nematode numbers. suppression of root volume, dry root and stem weight, height increase, plant survival, a ... | 1987 | 19290147 |
the effects of ammonia-generating fertilizer on criconemoides xenoplax in pot cultures. | fertilizer which generated nh was detrimental to criconemoides xenoplax grown in the greenhouse. the fertilizer was lethal to the nematodes in vitro only when it was accompanied by urease-positive bacteria or partially purified urease. the detrimental action of the fertilizer-urease mixture was ntore rapitt at ph 8 than at ph 7. | 1976 | 19308237 |
