Effect of Combination of Solarization and Soil Fumigation on Root-knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) (Nematoda: Meloidogynidae) in Greenhouses
Abstract
Root knot nematodes are
economically important crop pests that is difficult to control. Soil fumigation
and solarization are significant methods to control root knot nematodes. The
application of soil fumigation and solarization on nematodes is not fully understood.
Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the effect of the
combination of the solarization with reduced dose of metam-sodium to control
root knot nematodes in pepper. Experiments were conducted in greenhouses in
Adanalıoğlu and Kazanlı region of Mersin province in 2014-2015. Following the
planting beds were prepared in the experiments, the solarization with reduced
metam-sodium fumigant was applied at 750 l/ha. The plots were saturated via
drip irrigation, and waited for two days before metam-sodium was applied with
100 ton/ha water. The solarization application in July 2014 combined with
reduced metam-sodium treatment were effectively protected pepper against
root-knot nematodes until July 2015 where gall formation ranged between 0-1.4.
Solarization combination with reduced metam-sodium application resulted with
gall formation below 2 while in non-treated parcels were ranged from 6.4 to
7.1. Solarization with reduced metam-sodium application resulted 98,8% to
234,5% yield increase in pepper. Results indicate that combination of
solarization with reduced metam-sodium application reduced the root-knot
nematodes. It is thought that when the manufacturers apply the solarization
with combination of metam-sodium correctly, they will not have nematode
problems and the possibility of encountering lower ineffectiveness of the chemicals.
