THE EFFECT OF ROOT-KNOT (MELOIDOGYNE HAPLA) AND LESION (PRATYLENCHUS PENETRANS) NEMATODES OF PYRETHRUM SEEDLINGS IN KENYA |
| Author: | J.J. Anyango |
| Abstract:
The importance of root-knot and lesion nematodes was assessed on pyrethrum seedlings at two nurseries in Molo and Kisii. Nemacur (5%) granules significantly controlled the population of the two nematodes in the roots and surrounding soil. Plots treated with the nematicide showed faster growth and seedling establishment compared with the untreated control. Increased nematode populations resulted in the stunting of seedlings. | |
