An ecofriendly Root- Knot Nematode Pest Management Strategy on Sugarbeet 1- Utilizing Microbial Agents
Journal Title: Egyptian Journal of Agronematology - Year 2014, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Filtrates of several fungi (Arthrobotry oligospora, Dactylella brochopage, Nematochomus concurrence, Fusarium exsporium, Trichoderma harzianum and Varticillium chlamydosporium) and bacteria (Bacills cereus, B. thuringiensis, Psendornonas fluorescens and Serratia odorifera) as biocontrol agents were tested for their nematicidal against the root-knot nematode, M. javanica infecting sugarbeet plants, as well as for their effects on yield and quality parameters. These microbial filtrates were applied as soil drench at the three concentrates (50, 75 and 1000%). Results showed that all fungi and bacteria filtrates significantly reduced the numbers of nematode population and reproduction factor comparing to the check treatment. The reduction percentage of nematode counts and reproduction factor was affected by microbial filtrate type and concentration used. Enhanced reduction followed increased concentration in each microbial filtrate. Moreover, root, leaves and sugar yields, as well as quality characters (i.e. T.S.S., sucrose and purity %) were also significantly increased. Among the fungi filtrates, V. chamydosporiusm filtrate at the highest concentration recorded the maximum effect in reducing number of nematode population and reproduction factor. Also, the highest increase percentages of leaves, root, sugar yields and sucrose, T.S.S and purity% were obtained at the highest concentrations of V. chlamydosporium. In case bacteria filtrates, the highest reduction of nematode population and reproduction factor as well as, the greatest root and sugar yields increases were achieved at the highest concentration of B. cereus and S. odorifera, filtrates. Generally, the plants treated with V. chlamydosporium, B. cereus and S. odorifera filtrates had less nematode population and higher productivity of sugar- beet than those plants treated with the other tested microbial agents. In addition, these filtrates had nearly the same effect of the nematicide, Oxamyl on root-knot nematode, M. javanica. Also, these biocontrol agents are ecological sound, economical viable and partial substitutes for costly and pollution causing chemical nematicides and have been a successful instead of these chemical nematicides management strategy when used alone or in combination with other strategies.
