Abstract:
Green-house experiments were conducted to determine and compare the pathogenicity of 5 isolates of Meloidogyne arenaria, including the 2 host races and a population of Meloidogyne javanica on 2 soybean cultivars, "Kirby" and "Centennial" "Kirby" was more tolerant to M. arenaria and M. javanica than "Centennial". Generally, nematode introduction suppressed the growth of soybean. M. Javanica was more pathogenic on the 2 soybean cultivars than M. arenaria. Differences in virulence of Meloidogyne species stress the need to screen soybean cultivars against various field populations while breeding for resistance against the root-knot nematode.32.1/.8:595.132 Plant Diseases Plant Pests Nematodes
