Radopholus similis, Helicotylenchus multicinctus and Meloidogyne spp. are among the major nematode pests of banana worldwide. Nematode management through exploitation of genetic sources of resistance is widely encouraged, especially in resource poor countries. A number of hybrids have been develo...

Endophytic non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum isolates are known to control Radopholus similis through induced resistance. Using complementary (c)DNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP), we identified genes induced in nematode-susceptible and -tolerant bananas following colonization...

Root-knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne spp. is an economically important pest of the traditional leafy vegetable, Solanum macrocarpon L., in Benin. In the search for IPM options, the effect of 5, 20, 35 and 50 g of dried skin peels of cassava storage roots (CP) and orange fruits (OP) each on incid...

Intensification of agriculture, combined with poor agronomic practices have increased the incidence of plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) and other soil pathogens in East Africa, which consequently affects crop productivity in small holder farms. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiv...
Plant volatile signatures are often used as cues by herbivores to locate their preferred hosts. Here, we report on the volatile organic compounds used by the subterranean root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita for host location. We compared responses of infective second stage juveniles (J...
