Potential of an appropriate cropping program for root-Knot (Meloidogyne Spp.) nematode management in tomato cropping systems in Kenya

Abstract

Studies were undertaken under greenhouse and field conditions to determine the suppressiveness of a wide range of plant species to Meloidogyne spp. nematodes. Potted plants were inoculated with 6000 eggs and /or juveniles while the field experiments were in nematode-infested fields. The data was analyzed using GenStat Edition 3 and means separated using the least significant difference test at (P<0.05). Among the plants tested, Tagetes patula...
