TAILIEUCHUNG - Methyl bromide alternatives for controlling meloidogyne incognita in pepper cultivars in the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey

The efficacy of soil solarization in combination with Trichoderma spp. (S+Tr), dazomet (S+D 300, 400 and 500 kg ha-1 of dosages) and fresh chicken manure (S+CM t ha-1) as methyl bromide (MB) alternatives against root-knot nematodes on pepper cultivars was investigated in plastic greenhouses in the eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey. | Turk J Agric For 31 (2007) 31-40 © TÜB‹TAK Methyl Bromide Alternatives for Controlling Meloidogyne incognita in Pepper Cultivars in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey Mehmet Ali SÖ⁄ÜT1, ‹brahim Halil ELEKÇ‹O⁄LU2 1 Plant Protection Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Süleyman Demirel University, 32260 Isparta - TURKEY 2Plant Protection Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Çukurova University, 01330 Adana - TURKEY Received: -1 Abstract: The efficacy of soil solarization in combination with Trichoderma spp. (S+Tr), dazomet (S+D 300, 400 and 500 kg ha -1 of dosages) and fresh chicken manure (S+CM t ha ) as methyl bromide (MB) alternatives against root-knot nematodes on pepper cultivars was investigated in plastic greenhouses in the eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Soil solarization for 6 weeks increased soil temperature by and °C at 10 cm soil depth in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Second stage juvenile (J2) populations of M. incognita were efficiently reduced by S + Tr, S + D300, S + D400, S + D500, S + CM, and MB treatments until May 16 in both the first and second years. However, J2 population began to increase after February in untreated control plots. Root gall indices were low ( to ) in all treatments except untreated control where gall index was approximately 6 (0 to 10 galling index scale). All the alternative treatments to MB effectively suppressed the damage of root-knot nematodes during the entire vegetation period. Yield values were not significantly different between alternative treatments and MB in the experiments.
