Description |
Carnation is herbaceous perennial flowering plant which is grown commercially as cut flowers all over the world. Nematodes are one of the limiting factors that cause serious concern to commercial production of carnation. A survey undertaken in and around Bengaluru district revealed the presence of Meloidogyne incognita in all the places. Highest population (soil and root samples) of M. incognita was recorded in Byatha village of Nelamangala taluk and from GKVK, Bengaluru. The biology and life cycle of M. incognita revealed that second stage juveniles invaded the roots 2 days after inoculation and M. incognita took 25.66 days and 28.00 days to produce galls and egg masses respectively and produce about 398 eggs/ egg mass. In total, nematodes took 24- 34 days to complete their life cycle. J2 and adult female measured about 313- 340 μm and 472-494 μm in length and 21-26 μm and 206- 223 μm body width respectively. Decreased activities of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase and total soluble sugars and increased phenol content and catalase activity was recorded in carnation plants when inoculated with M. incognita. Paecilomyces lilacinus treated plants reduced nematode population (soil and root), reduced galls and number of egg masses per root system), maximum plant height, better root growth, root length and root weight and early emergence of flower bud in both pre plant and post plant application under polyhouse condition. Fumigation with metham sodium + neem cake + P. lilacinus treated plots recorded less number of galls and number of egg masses per root system, increased plant height, root length, fresh and dry weight of roots, early appearance of flower bud and increased number of flower/ plant. |
