Molecular Approaches Toward Resistance to Plant-Parasitic Nematodes (2008, background): “While 29 species of nematodes parasitize rice, studies of disease distribution and yield loss in rice have been limited (Bridge et al. 2005 ; Padgham et al. 2004) , and international agricultural research centers have employed a minimal number of nematologists (Luc et al. 2005a) .”
In vitro activity of Bacillus firmus against the burrowing nematode Radopholus similis, the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and the stem nematode Ditylenchus dipsaci (2008, background): “In many cases, nematicides are required to reduce damage and increase yield (Sikora and Fernández 2005).”
Incidence and Reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita on Vegetable Crop Genotypes (2010, background): “The reasons for the fairly widespread distribution of root-knot nematode might be their extensive host range, including weeds (Anwar et al., 2009c; Sikora and Fernandez 1990), the lack of awareness among growers about nematodes, the unintentional spread through sharing of seedlings and farm…”
WEED SPECIES AS HOSTS OF MELOIDOGYNE: A REVIEW (2009, positive): “The root-knot nematodes , Meloidogyne spp., have been reported to survive and even thrive on weeds (Davidson and Townshend, 1967; Luc et al ., 2005; Zhang and Schmitt, 1994).”
