Suppression of soybean cyst nematodes with swine manure: Nematode Information

When compared with the application of chemical fertilizers, the application of swine manure at rate of 37.4 m3/ha can reduce the populations of soybean cyst nematode, Heterodera glycines 45 days after treatment and increase soybean yield by over 44%.

These findings were presented by Bao, Y.J., Chen, V.S. and Randall, G. at the 50th annual meeting of the Society of Nematologists held in Corvallis, Oregon from July 17-20, 2011.

Induced resistance in cotton to plant-parasitic nematodes: Nematode Information

Cotton plants infected by a plant-parasitic nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis can elicit enhanced defense against another invading plant-parasitic nematode, Meloidogyne incognita in cotton through induction of systemic acquired resistance.

These findings were presented by Aryal, S.K., Davis, R.F., Stevenson, K.L., Timper, P. and Ji, P. at the 50th annual meeting of the Society of Nematologists held in Corvallis, Oregon from July 17-20, 2011.
