Alternative nematode management strategies
(Springer, 2017)In South Africa, about 48 % of the people live in rural areas. A large portion (35 %) of this rural population lives below the poverty line. Most of these communities depend on the production of grain, leguminous and ... -
Assessment of the biofumigation effect of Canola (Brassica napus) on soil microbial community function and structure
(North-West University, 2012)Sunflower cultivation in South Africa is threatened to a large extent by the fungal parasite, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which causes extensive head rot and crop losses of up to 100%. This is a major problem for commercial ... -
Brassicacea-based management strategies as an alternative to combat nematode pests: a synopsis
(Elsevier, 2016)Nematode pests parasitise and cause substantial crop yield and quality losses to a wide range of crops worldwide. To minimize such damage, the exploitation and development of alternative nematode control strategies are ... -
Effect of biofumigants on soil microbial communities and ecotoxicology of earthworms (Eisenia andrei)
(Springer, 2016)Biofumigation is considered a good alternative to chemical fumigation because it can control crop pathogens and diseases with lower health and environmental risks than chemical fumigants. Glucosinolates are volatile compounds ... -
The effect of canola (Brassica napus) as a biofumigant on soil microbial communities and plant vitality: a pot study
(Taylor & Francis and NISC, 2013)Canola (Brassica napus) may be incorporated into soil as a biofumigant for control of pathogens such as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Yet, the effect of biofumigants on natural microbial communities required to maintain soil ... -
The effect of fumigants on earthworms (Eisenia andrei) and soil microbial communities
(North-West University, 2015)Biofumigation is an important crop protection practice that uses a plant’s natural defence mechanisms to control agricultural crop pathogens and diseases. Glucosinolates are volatile compounds found in most Brassica species ... -
The host status of Brassicaceae to Meloidogyne and their effects as cover and biofumigant crops on root-knot nematode populations associated with potato and tomato under South African field conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)Cover and biofumigant crops of Brassicaceae are potential alternatives to synthetically-derived nematicides for managing root-knot nematode pests in various crops. The host status of Eruca sativa (cvs. Rocket Trio and ... -
Nematode (Phylum Nematoda) community assemblages : a tool to implement environmentally–sound management strategies for root–knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) in potato–based cropping systems
(North-West University, 2012)those special or additional educational needs and goals that would enable students to fulfil their future roles in their communities and beyond. It is also argued that the mini–education systems of non–governmental ...
