Abstract:

Root-knot nematodes are important pathogens threatening agricultural production. The control effects of cabbage biofumigation on tomato root-knot nematodes in the field were studied,the soil nematodes were isolated by the suspended centrifugation method and the influence of biofumigation on the soil nematode community was evaluated. The results showed that cabbage biofumigation reduced the damage of root-knot nematode to tomato. The control efficacy of biofumigation was 58.6% and 45.8% respectively at 60 and 90 d post transplantation,which was equivalent to that of the chemical pesticide fosthiazate. In addition,biofumigation resulted in the increase of the number of bacterivores nematodes and omnivore predator nematodes,and reduction of the number of fungivores nematodes and parasitic nematodes. Moreover biofumigation increased the maturity index(MI)of soil free-living nematodes,reduced the plant parasite index(PPI)and PPI/MI. It is indicated that cabbage biofumigation presents some inhibitory effect on plant parasitic nematodes,reduces the number and intensity of soil interference,and plays a positive role in the soil ecological environment. The research results show that cabbage biofumigation may effectively prevent and control vegetable root-knot nematodes,which is an environmentally friendly green prevention and control technology.

Key words: root-knot nematodes, biofumigation, nematode community, cabbage
