EFFICACY OF DMDS AS A SOIL TREATMENT AGAINST MELOIDOGYNE CHITWOODI IN THE NETHERLANDS

Abstract The results of experiments, performed in The Netherlands during the last decade, on the host range of Meloidogyne chitwoodi and M. fallax are presented and discussed. Opinions are expressed on the host status of the tested plants and the phytosanitary status of the commercial product (defined as that part of the plant that enters trade) separately, as interest for both categories may differ. Information for each category is given for a variety of plants such as vegetables, arable crops, flowering bulbs and plants, and ornamental plants and trees. Data obtained from glasshouse experiments are given in a separate table. Many plants are a good host for one or both nematode species, and the commercial product, such as some bulbs and potatoes, might form a phytosanitary risk as a carrier of the juveniles inside the product, this risk being increased when that commercial product has roots.

Abstract Meloidogyne chitwoodi and M. fallax have been important nematode problems in arable farming in the Netherlands and Belgium ever since their detection in the 1980s. Their quarantine status and the damage inflicted on product quality in important cash crops such as potato, carrots, black salsify and gladiolus has increased drastically the need for integrated nematode management strategies that prevent yield losses and further spreading. This chapter elaborates on the economic importance, host range, distribution, symptoms of damage, biology and life cycle, interactions with other nematodes and pathogens, recommended integrated nematode management (prevention, inventory, crop rotation and supporting measures), and management optimization of M. chitwoodi and M. fallax. Future research requirements are also mentioned.
