Botanical Product Controlling Nematode on Tomato in Zalingei, Central Darfur, Sudan

Abstract

Plant extracts are, nowadays extensively used as environmentally friendly ways for biological control of insect and plant diseases, instead of using chemical pesticides. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the effect of Calotropis procera, Poultry manure, Carbofuran, and Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) on root-knot nematode (M. incognita) in tomato crop. To study the efficacy of different botanical extracts for management of root-knot nematode, M. incognita in Zalingei, Central Darfur, Sudan, a pot experiments were conducted. Results showed that all biological extracts caused significant decreases in egg hatching and increasing nematode mortality and increasing growth and yield parameters of tomato crop. It found that these biological extracts are involved in plant defense and hence provide resistance against nematode attack that reveals with good response to the environment and saving human life.

Sensitivity of sixteen tomato cultivars to root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita under greenhouse conditions

“…The lowest percentage reduction values calculated Floradade, Caieer and Peto86 cultivars (1.1, 1.6 and 1.8%), respectively. Generally, these results are in accordance with findings ofMohamed et al (1999),Abbas et al (2008) andHassan et al (2022).…”
