Impact of phytosanitary treatments with natural extracts on soil nematode community in pot farming

The EU strongly encourages the use of natural products in plant protection. Natural extracts are increasingly used in controlling plant-parasitic nematodes, while the effects on the structure and function of non-target soil organisms have been poorly investigated...

Impact of Pot Farming on Plant-Parasitic Nematode Control

In the Pistoia Nursery-Ornamental Rural District (Italy), a leader in Europe in ornamental nurseries covering over 5200 hectares with over 2500 different species of plant, plant-parasitic nematodes represent a serious concern. The potential efficacy of a pot cultivation system using commercial substrates to control plant-parasitic nematodes was assessed...

Occurrence of Panagrellus Nematodes in a Morphologically Aberrant Adult Specimen of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus

An aberrant specimen of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) also known as red palm weevil (RPW), the most economically important insect pest of palms in the world, was found among a batch of conspecifics reared for research purposes. A morphological analysis of this weevil revealed the presence of nematodes associated with a structured cuticle defect of the thorax...

An update on the occurrence of nematodes belonging to the genus Bursaphelenchus in the Mediterranean area

The genus Bursaphelenchus contains more than 100 species of nematodes. Knowledge of the occurrence of nematodes belonging to this genus is a prerequisite for monitoring issues and control measures to prevent the introduction and establishment of pathogenic species such as Bursaphelenchus xylophilus into forest ecosystems...

Oscheius onirici sp. N.: A new entomopathogenic nematode from an Italian cave

Oscheius onirici sp. n. (Nematoda: Rhabditidae) was isolated from a karst cave soil of Central Italy. Molecular and morphological analyses were performed. Total DNA was extracted from individual nematodes and the mitochondrial COI, the ITS containing region, the D2-D3 expansion domains of the 28S rRNA gene and the 18S rRNA gene were amplified and sequenced...

Ultrastructure of the anterior alimentary tract of Bursaphelenchus mucronatus Mamiya et Enda

In view of the phytosanitary importance of nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus and the limited information available on their ultrastructure, we carried out a study of the buccal cavity and oesophageal area of Bursaphelenchus mucronatus Mamiya et Enda, 1979...
