Evaluation of summer and winter cover crops for variations in host suitability for Meloidogyne incognita, M. arenaria and M. javanica

Abstract: Summary Root-knot nematode (RKN) is an important pathogen on vegetables; therefore, planting a non- or poor host cover crop following a susceptible vegetable crop is a promising management option. This study builds upon previous studies and evaluates the variations in host status of cover crop candidates for reducing the reproduction of RKN populations (Meloidogyne incognita, M. arenaria and M. javanica) in Georgia, USA, to shed light on previous inconsistencies regarding the host status of cover crops and eff… Show more

“…Use as green manure seems to be the most suitable for the exploitation of the nematicidal potential of this plant, also in consideration of the agronomical benefits related to this practice. However, high attention should be given to seasonal period of green manures, so as to avoid spring–summer periods which are favourable to a potential RKN multiplication on sulla roots [ 60 ].…”

“…25 Tropical sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) may be an excellent candidate for vegetable rotations, as it fixes nitrogen, 26 produces a large volume of biomass, 27,28 suppresses PPN through production of allelopathic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, 29 and is a poor-host to RKNs. 26,30 There are in vitro experiments showing the potential of pyrrolizidines alkaloids suppressing fungal organisms; however, field studies on its effect on fungal pathogens are limited. 31 Cereal rye is commonly planted in the fall as a forage crop for livestock in Georgia 32 and has been suggested as a cover crop for nematode and weed control due to the production of allelopathic benzoxazinoids 33 and rapid growth, producing large volumes of biomass during the winter season.…”

“…40 Rye may also indirectly suppress soilborne pathogens by enhancing organic matter and soil microbial community. 30 The effectiveness of soilborne pathogen suppression by cover crops can vary greatly depending on sufficient biomass production. The lack of M. incognita suppression has been attributed to low cereal rye biomass production.…”
