The loss in different crops was as follows: Rice - 25 to 41 percent Maize - 20 to 41 percent Wheat - 10 to 28 percent Potato - 8 to 21 percent Soya bean - 11 to 32 percent Experts identified 137 pathogens and pests affecting these five crops, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, oomcyetes, nematodes, arthropods, vertebrates, molluscs, and parasitic plants. Soil-borne ...
Methyl bromide is also a methylating agent in the chemical industry and in the past, was used as a refrigerant. [1] The Market Methyl bromide fumigation can be used for many different applications, on board cargo ships once docked and the crew disembarked, against insects, termites, rodents, weeds, nematodes, soil-borne diseases and many other non-desirable pests. Another ...
Agriculturists use root analysis to get images of: The development and function of a plant over time, including new growth, depth, and branching of roots, and symbiotic mycorrhizal-root tip interactions; Rooting of crops during the growing phase, specifically, the radius of branching and inter-root distance; The incidence of pests and diseases from nematode, parasites, ...
Pathogens Pathogens are organisms that cause disease in plants and can be viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, or nematodes. They can attack all the parts of the plant, affecting plant growth in myriad ways and reducing the productivity of crops. ...

The ideal time to apply nematodes can depend on the type of pest(s) you are targeting. For white grubs, for example, the ideal time to apply is late summer/early fall when the young grubs are most susceptible to nematodes. ...
A common question we get this time of year is “when can I apply beneficial nematodes”? Beneficial nematodes are a great, all-natural control for a variety of common pest insects. But, since nematodes are living organisms, care needs to be taken to ensure they stay living and viable. As a general rule, beneficial ...
They are dependent on a soil full of microorganisms such as nematodes, bacteria, fungi, and even worms. Each of these plays an important role in the ecosystem of the soil. ...
Some insects are beneficial to introduce to your garden, praying mantis, lacewings, nematodes, lady bugs, and worms. Buyer beware, just because it says ‘organic’ fertilizer, many of them still contain inorganic salts, nitrogen, phosphorus. ...
Areas of focus should include strategies for foliar bacterial disease management from pre-seeding to harvest, diagnosing and managing soil borne plant pathogens including nematodes, and how soil health impacts crop productivity and stress tolerance. ...
The consideration of ESs in environmental decision making is a growing trend, and the present case study provides an example of how ESs evaluation could be used to enhance agricultural practices and regulatory policy for crop protection. By attacking plant roots, nematodes may affect the growth and yield of fruit and vegetable crops, and the income earned by farmers at harvest ...
The following commercially available biocontrol agents were evaluated: a rove beetle, Dalotia coriaria (Kraatz); predatory mites, Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley) and Gaeolaelaps gillespiei Beaulieu; entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin (now classified as Metarhizium brunneum) strain F52 and Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) GHA strain; and the ...
The pH and byproduct content of some commercial fertilizers can reduce populations of fungi, nematodes and protozoa. Additionally, many fertilizer (especially nitrogen) stabilizers have components that adversely affect soil microbes to accomplish that stability. ...
For the present study, we performed acute and chronic toxicity tests with the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans for a total of 11 chemicals covering 3 substance classes (nonpolar narcotics: 1‐propanol, ethanol, methanol, 2‐butoxyethanol; metals: copper, cadmium, zinc; and carbamates: methomyl, oxamyl, aldicarb, dioxacarb). ...
By 2050, according to new research in the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography, those opportunistic viruses, bacteria, fungi, blights, mildews, rusts, beetles, nematodes, flies, mites, spiders and caterpillars that farmers call pests will have saturated the world. ...
Fluorides are commonly added to drinking water in the United States to decrease the incidence of dental caries. Silicofluorides, such as sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) and fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6), are mainly used for fluoridation, although fluoride salts such as sodium fluoride (NaF) are also used. Interestingly, only the toxicity of NaF has been examined and not that of the more ...
They were now beautifully healthy and of equal size to other less badly affected plants. 30th April Malaysia One mine owner planting trees on old mine sites reports that while previously he had lost many of the trees to nematodes, once the root areas were treated with Amnite A100 the trees recovered and the nematodes were no longer a problem. 17th June Visit J ...
Peanut root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal) Chitwood or Ma] is an increasingly common pest in the southern United States where crops such as peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) ...
Root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus neglectus and P. thornei) are widely distributed and substantially reduce grain yields in wheat (Triticum aestivum ...
Further yield decline can occur due to infestations by soybean cyst nematodes (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe; SCN) that are often present in greater numbers in high-pH soils. ...
