Summary: | A field experiment was conducted for three years to assess the effect of organic amendments on the management of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and the spiral nematode Helicotylenchus multicinctus on banana. There was a significant reduction in the nematode population in plants treated with pressmud (15 t/ha) or neem cake (1.5 t/ha). The organic amendments enhanced plant height, pseudostem girth, number of leaves per plant and leaf area and also increased the fruit yield. The organic amendments were comparable with carbofuran treatment
[E' stato condotto un esperimento di campo per tre anni allo scopo di verificare l'effetto degli ammendanti organici sul controllo del nematode galligeno Meloidogyne incognita e del nematode a spirale Helicotylenchus multicinctus nel banano. Si verificava una riduzione significativa nella popolazione dei nematodi nelle piante trattate con fanghi di zuccherificio (15 t/ha) o panello di neem (1,5 t/ha). Gli ammendanti organici incrementavano l'altezza delle piante, la circonferenza dei polloni, il numero di foglie per pianta e la loro area e aumentavano pure la produzione di frutti. Gli ammendanti organici manifestavano un effetto comparabile con il trattamento con carbofuran] |
