Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association Plant growth parameters of potato showed significant interactions between Pratylenchus penetrans and Verticillium dahliae in two experiments.
- Intervention effect Without Verticillium dahliae, P. penetrans did not reduce potato plant growth and tuber yield below the nematode-free control, or did so only at the highest one or two population densities tested.
- Intervention effect With Verticillium dahliae present, the lowest nematode population density significantly reduced potato shoot weight in three experiments.
- Intervention effect With Verticillium dahliae present, the lowest nematode population density significantly reduced potato photosynthesis in four experiments.
- Intervention effect Higher nematode densities had no additional effect on potato shoot weight.
- Intervention effect Higher nematode densities caused additional reductions in potato photosynthesis in only one experiment.
- Intervention effect A nematode population density of 0.8 per cm3 soil reduced potato tuber yield by 51%.
- Intervention effect A nematode population density of 7.5 per cm3 soil reduced potato tuber yield by 45%.
- Intervention effect Densities higher than 0.8 nematodes/cm3 soil had no further effect on potato tuber yield.
- Intervention effect Densities higher than 7.5 nematodes/cm3 soil caused a 15% additional effect on potato tuber yield.
- Observation The authors conclude that the nematode population density must be substantially higher before additional effects on potato become apparent.
