ABSTRACT
The damage (irregular galls of different sizes on the plant roots) caused by root-knot nematodes
(Meloidogynidae)
is a general
problem in greenhouses in Hungary.
The effect of the microbiological plant protection product Trifender and the
nematode-trapping fungus
Arthrobotrys oligospora
on the
degree of damage caused by root-knot nematodes, has been investigated in greenhouse pepper. We set up our experiment in Pusztamonostor (Jászság region, Hungary) on a family farm, in 2008 and 2009. We carried out a preliminary evaluation (Zeck-scale; 0–10)
in the pre-crop with symptomatic assessment. According to the preliminary evaluation, the infection in the case of Trifender showed
rates of 2–3, and the
A. olygospora
showed rates of 3–4, on average.
The results of 2008 show that Trifender had no effect on the number of females, but plant height increased by 12% and 15%, and yield
grew by 25–35%. In 2009, the number of females decreased by 33%, and plant height increased by 11% and 18%.
In 2008, in the case of
A. oligospora,
there was no effect on the number of females, but plant height increased by 6%. In 2009, the number
of females decreased by 35%.
