| Abstract/Contents: | In southern Nigeria cover plants were evaluated for their resistance to Meloidogyne incognita race 2. In glasshouse and field experiments, Crotalaria retusa, Arachis hypogaea, Stylosanthes gracilis, Tagetes patula and T. erecta were found to be highly resistant; Centrosema sp., Panicum maximum, Eupatorium odoratum and Aspilia latifolia exhibited a medium degree of resistance, and Calopogonium sp., Cajanus cajan, Vigna unguiculata and Cynodon dactylon were susceptible. Planting cover crops that suppress root-knot nematodes in fallow lands could become a way of field pest management practice. |
