Integrated management strategies for plant-parasitic nematodes on warm-season turfgrass using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, chemical nematicides, and remote sensing technology

Groover, Will (2020-04-15)

Plant-parasitic nematodes are a major pathogen of turfgrass throughout the United States, yet management strategies rely almost entirely on a limited number of chemical nematicides. The overall objective of this research ...

Integrated Pest Management Systems can be used for Promoting Plant Development in Upland Cotton to Combat Reniform Nematode Losses.

Luangkhot, Justin (2016-05-11)

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) growers of Alabama lost $8.2 million to the reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) in 2014. The overall objective for this study was to develop a holistic integrated pest management strategy ...

Investigating Reniform Nematode Resistant Genotypes in Combination with Velum Total in Cotton Gossypium hirsutum L.

Kaplan, Gulsah (2018-12-03)

Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., is an important commodity traded in the world market in terms of volume and value. Reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) (RN) reduces and limits cotton yields. . At present, nematicides ...

Management of Rotylenchulus reniformis and Meloidogyne incognita on Gossypium hirsutum in Alabama and the economic impact of additional fertilizer and nematicide applications

Gordon, Kara (2021-07-13)

The reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis and the southern root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita are some of the most damaging plant parasitic nematodes on upland cotton in the United States. Management strategies ...

Resistance to Meloidogyne incognita Induced by Bacillus spp.

Gattoni, Kaitlin (2019-07-16)

Meloidogyne incognita race 3 is a major pest of hundreds of susceptible plant hosts around the world. Biological control agents are one management strategy that can be employed against this nematode. The goal of this ...

Selecting Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) for Both Biological Control of Multiple Plant Diseases and Plant Growth Promotion in the Presence of Pathogens

Liu, Ke (2015-07-29)

A study was conducted to select PGPR strains for broad-spectrum disease suppression and growth promotion in the presence of plant pathogens. First, 198 strains were tested for antibiosis capacity against nine different ...

Small RNA and Transcriptome Analysis of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Susceptibility, Resistance, and Hypersensitivity to Reniform Nematodes (Rotylenchulus reniformis)

Li, Ruijuan (2014-12-10)

Reniform nematodes (RN) are semi-endoparasitic nematode species causing significant yield loss in cotton, particularly in the eastern US cotton belt. Successful RN parasitism is contingent on establishment of a syncytium, ...

Southern Root-knot Nematode (Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood) and Fungal Susceptibility of Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) Accessions

Hall, Meredith (2017-07-22)

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), a spice crop native to southeast Asia, is undergoing evaluation as a niche crop for Alabama and other southeastern U.S. production areas. Thirteen accessions of Curcuma spp. (including eight ...

The Studies of Plant Host Resistance to the Reniform Nematode in Upland Cotton and the Effects of Bacillus firmus GB-126 on Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

Schrimsher, Drew (2013-04-22)

Germplasm lines LONREN-1 and LONREN-2 were released in 2007 for cotton breeders to incorporate reniform nematode resistance into breeding efforts with desirable cultivars to establish nematode resistant high yielding ...

Studies on the Use of Soil Edaphic Factors for the Development of Site Specific Management Strategies for Rotylenchulus reniformis on Cotton

Moore, Scott (2012-08-01)

The reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, is currently one of the most limiting factors to cotton production in the United States. With no available commercial host plant resistance, options for management of R. ...

The study of applied management options to enhance crop protection against Verticillium wilt in Gossypium hirsutum.

Land, Caroline (2015-07-24)

Verticillium wilt of cotton is incited by Verticillium dahliae, which colonizes the vascular cylinder of the plant and resulting in defoliation, stunting, and yield loss. The long-term goal of this project was to look ...

Upland Cotton Cultivar Evaluation for Reaction to Corynespora cassiicola

May, Jenna Kay (2018-11-15)

Target spot of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is caused by the fungus Corynespora cassiicola (Berk. & Curt. C. T. Wei.) and has become a recent problem in cotton in the humid, southeastern states. Primarily occurring in ...

The use of Anaerobic Fermentation Acids and Aldehydes to Control Nematodes and Improve Soil Health

Alexander, Klapp (2012-04-19)

There is increasing effort to develop cropping systems utilizing soil amendments, flooding, and tarping to control nematodes. The decrease in nematode populations under such anaerobic conditions is attributed to the ...
