The reaction of the sweet pepper plants after grass cultivation in the management of the root-knot nematode

Keywords: Meloidogyne incognita, Antagonist plants, Suppression

Abstract

The use of resistant cultivars in a system of rotation and/or crop succession is one of the most efficient strategies for controlling nematodes. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the reaction of sweet pepper plants after the cultivation of corn genotypes and forage grasses to Meloidogyne incognita. Corn and forage seeds were sown in pots, and after germination, 5,000 eggs/juveniles of M. incognita were inoculated, and the plants were grown up to 50 days. Then, the aerial part of the plants was eliminated, leaving only the root system in the soil. Pepper seedlings cv. Ikeda were transplanted as indicators for each pot. At 50 days of cultivation, the following were evaluated: plant height; fresh mass of shoots; length, fresh mass and volume of roots of sweet pepper plants; and variables associated with the number of galls and egg mass of M. incognita. All grass genotypes evaluated positively influenced the vegetative development of bell pepper plants. The corn hybrid Dow 2B710 and the grasses Andropogon gayanus (cv. Planaltina), Brachiaria brizantha (cv. MG-4) and Panicum maximum (cv. Massai) reduced the number of galls. Only the corn hybrid Dow 2B688 had no effect on the reduction of egg mass in the roots, and with the exception of Dow 2B688 and P. maximum (cv. Aruna), the others reduced the number of juveniles in the roots. With the exception of the control, of A. gayanus (cv. Planaltina) and P. maximum (tobiatã, Tanzania and Massai cultivars), the other genotypes are efficient in the control of M. incognita.
