The present work was performed in Apozol county, which is part of the Juchipila, Zac, Mexico, canyon, with the following objectives: to determine the population dynamics of the nematodes during one year, and to carry out an experiment for the control of them, since the damage they cause for guava is great, particularly by the gall nematode. The identified species was Meloidogyne javanica and other ones belonging to the genera Helicotylenchus, Ditylenchus, Aphelenchoides, Aphelenchus, Criconemoides, Tylenchus, Psilenchus and Dorylaimus. In general the highest populations were found in April. The control experiment was directed against the gall nematode, using Furadan 5 and Mocap 10 g, at the dosages of 250 and 300 gr of the commercial products per tree, respectively. The ornamental plant Tagetes was also included at the rate of 25 g seed per tree. The best results were obtained with Furadan 5 percent G. (01674)

Potato cyst nematodes are bexoming increasingly difficult to control with established methods due to the replacement of Globodera rostochiensis by G. pallida as the major nematode species in many potato growing areas. Hence, there would be many benefits in a biological agent that could be used in an integrated control system against these persistent pests of potatoes. This paper reports on a project to isolate natural enemies of the nematode and assess their potential as biological control agents. (03279)

Nematicidal activity of different extracts of Myristica fragrans was tested against Meloidogyne incognita. Mace oil was the most effective with nutmeg oil in second in order of efficacy. Extractions made with CO2 were not very effective on nematodes. (02115)

Population dynamics of the root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus coffeae) is followed in the tubers of Dioscorea cayenensis from the plantation in the field until the end of the storage. The impact of various conservation conditions is evaluated on the nematode's reproduction. The distribution of parasites inside the tuber is described and the contamination risk for a new production cycle are underlined. (03501)

Pasteuria penetrans has been found infecting mature females of Meloidogyne javanica and M. incognita in the greenhouse of Nematological Research Centre, Univ. of Karachi. This bacterial parasite of phyto-nematodes is reported for the first time from Pakistan. (03252)

Three field experiments were conducted in the Ivory Coast to evaluate the efficacy of a new organo-phosphate nematicide, cadusafos (formerly ebufos, Rugby), compared with three other non-fumigant nematicides for control of nematodes on bananas. The activity of cadusafos in controlling all nematode populations in these experiments was better than the other compounds even when used at a lower dosage (2g a.i./plant). Analysis of horticultural measurements, including growth and harvest, clearly illustrated the damaging components occurring on bananas in the Ivory Coast: lengthening of the duration of phenological phases and reduction of the harvest. Application of cadusafos increased yield 15.6 over treatment with aldicarb and 48.8 over the non-treated control (cumulative results of three harvests). (02027)

Screening of fumigant and non fumigant nematicides was conducted on banana plants on the Ivory Coast between 1981 and 1984 on mineral and organic soils. The methodology used permitted separation of the effects on the growth from the effects on the harvest. This study also revealed the different components of nematode damages in banana plantations in the Ivory Coast: i)lengthening of the vegetative cycle without reduction of the total harvest; ii)lengthening of the vegetative cycle and reduction of total harvest; iii)reduction of the longevity of the plantation. These types of damages can be observed mixed in a same plantation with a severity in relation with the soil type. Nematode damage was more important on mineral soil than on organic soil. On organic soil, nematicidal and horticultural results from peat soil and clay soil were very different, despite an apparent similar nematode community. Numerous varied relationships were found between nematode species in portion of the root system and horticultural parameters. In this study, all chemicals did not show an equal efficacy in reducing the nematode population, optimizing the vegetative growth and increasing the total harvest. In mineral soils, aldicarb gave the more consistent results, both from a nematological and horticultural point of view. (02028)
