Integrated Management of Meloidogyne incognita Infecting Soybean by Certain Organic Amendments, Bacillus thuringiensis, Trichoderma harzianum and Oxamyl with Reference to NPK and Total Chlorophyll Statuus
Abstract:
The integrated control of M. incognita infecting
soybean cv. Giza 21 using camel manure, dried leaf powder of marigold,
Trichoderma harzianum 100% filtrate, Bacillus thringiensis
singly or in combination with oxamyl under greenhouse condition (22±3°C)
indicated that the concomitant treatments obviously gave better results
than single ones did. Moreover, B. thringiensis plus oxamyl at
half dose each surpassed all other tested materials in percentage increase
of total plant fresh and shoot dry weights (99 and 88 %), respectively,
followed by T. harzianum filtrate plus oxamyl (95 and 61%) in this
respect. On the other hand, pots received T. harzianum filtrate
plus oxamyl ranked first in suppressing final nematode population (90%),
root galling (65%) and eggmass numbers (62.79%), followed by B.t. plus
oxamyl, marigold powder +oxamyl and then camel manure + oxamyl, where
their reduction percentage values amounted to 88.7, 62.5 and 61%; 88.5,
59.87 and 58.9% and 67, 50.5 and 52.97%, respectively. Of the tested singly
applications, T. harzianum filtrate showed the best results in
improving plant growth and suppressing nematode development criteria,
followed by B.t., whereas, marigold powder and camel manure achieved the
lowest values in this respect comparing to nematode alone. Regarding the
N, P and K concentrations in leaves of soybean plants inoculated with
M. incognita treated with certain organic matters or fungal filtrate
or bacterium alone or mixed with oxamyl, they were obviously enhanced
by all tested materials whereas the opposite results was recorded for
total chlorophyll content comparing to nematode alone.
