Determining the Optimal Meloidogyne Incognita Inoculum Level, Inoculation Time, Pathogencity and Gall Development on Tomato Roots for Resistance Experiments in Breeding Programs.

Root knot nematodes (RKN) cause a significant damage to many cultivated crops and present study was conducted to determine the most appropriate inoculum levels of a ubiquitous RKN nematode in warm climate, Meloidogynev incognita, inoculation time and plant age for the screening of nematode resistance studies on plant breeding programs under controlled conditions. The inoculum level experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of four M. incognita inoculum levels (1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 juven... view more»
