Pathogenicity of Meloidogyne incognita on Dianthus caryophyllus [carnation]

Studies were undertaken to assess the pathogenic potential of Meloidogyne incognita on carnation. Nematodes were inoculated on thirty-day-old carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) plant roots at population levels of 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 second stage juveniles. Plant growth was reduced at the level...

Summary:Studies were undertaken to assess the pathogenic potential of Meloidogyne incognita on carnation. Nematodes were inoculated on thirty-day-old carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) plant roots at population levels of 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 second stage juveniles. Plant growth was reduced at the level of 1,000 and 10,000 juveniles compared to the control. Plant growth, root length, root weight, time taken to first bloom and floral diameter were all adversely affected and stalk sturdiness was reduced, thus reducing the commercial value of the flowers [Sono stati condotti studi per accertare il potenziale patogenetico di Meloidogine incognita sul garofano. I nematodi sono stati inoculati sulle radici di piante di trenta giorni di garofano (Dianthus caryophyllus) a livelli di popolazione pari a 10, 100, 1.000 e 10.000 larve di seconda generazione. La crescita delle piante è risultata ridotta, rispetto al controllo, ai livelli di 1.000 e 10.000 larve. La crescita delle piante, la lunghezza e il peso delle radici, il tempo necessario per la prima fioritura e il diametro dei fiori erano influenzati negativamente e si riscontrava una riduzione della robustezza dello stelo, con una conseguente riduzione del valore commerciale dei fiori.]
