Reproduction potential of Nigerian Meloidogyne spp. and the response of six commercial watermelon cultivars to predominant species

The reproduction potential of nine single-species Meloidogyne populations and 16 mixed-species communities, recovered from watermelon rhizospheres in South-West Nigeria, were determined in roots of tomato (cv. Tropimech) in a glasshouse. The host responses of six commercial watermelon cultivars were...

Description
Summary:The reproduction potential of nine single-species Meloidogyne populations and 16 mixed-species communities, recovered from watermelon rhizospheres in South-West Nigeria, were determined in roots of tomato (cv. Tropimech) in a glasshouse. The host responses of six commercial watermelon cultivars were also assessed under glasshouse conditions to single-species populations of Meloidogyne incognita , M. javanica and M. enterolobii . Reproduction potential of different Meloidogyne populations and the host response of the cultivars were assessed based on the number of egg masses, final nematode population (Pf), reproduction factor (Rf) and relative susceptibility values (S%). No significant interaction ( P
