Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation In guava orchards, 105 of 150 samples were infested with Meloidogyne incognita, a 70.0 % occurrence frequency.
- Observation Among guava orchard samples, 88 contained both M. incognita and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. psidii, with 58.6 % disease incidence.
- Observation In guava nurseries, 44 of 60 samples had M. incognita, a 73.0 % occurrence frequency.
- Observation M. incognita and F. oxysporum f.sp. psidii were the prominent pathogens associated with guava decline.
- Observation M. incognita was the most frequent and dominant nematode in guava, reaching 24.6 % relative frequency.
- Observation M. incognita densities in guava reached 60.2 %.
- Observation Helicotylenchus and Hoplolaimus followed M. incognita in guava nematode community dominance.
- Observation M. incognita morphometrics resembled its original description.
- Observation The fungus associated with guava decline was morphologically identified as F. oxysporum f.sp. psidii.
- Association M. incognita and F. oxysporum were strongly associated in the guava decline complex.
- Mechanism The authors highlight nursery-borne inoculum as a contributor to disease spread in guava.
