Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect The highest mulching rate (10.5 t ha−1) increased total nematode abundance in Long Phu, particularly the cp1 and cp2 groups.
- Intervention effect Applying 7.0 t ha−1 of straw increased the proportion of omnivorous nematode feeders in Lieu Tu.
- Intervention effect Mulching increased nematode biodiversity at Long Phu, reflected in higher species richness and Shannon–Wiener indices.
- Intervention effect The highest mulching application rate (10.5 t ha−1) increased the relative abundance of cp2 functional guilds at both sites.
- Intervention effect Mulching reduced the relative abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes at both sites.
- Intervention effect Mulching increased cowpea yield at Lieu Tu from 5.1 to 13.9 t ha−1.
- Intervention effect Mulching increased cowpea yield at Long Phu from 5.67 to 9.70 t ha−1.
- Observation A total of 37 and 35 nematode genera were identified in Lieu Tu and Long Phu.
- Observation Bacterivores were the dominant nematode feeding group, followed by herbivores.
- Observation Acrobeloides, Hirschmanniella, Chronogaster, Aporcelaimellus and Prismatolaimus were prevalent at Long Phu.
- Observation Acrobeloides, Prismatolaimus, Hirschmanniella and Alaimus dominated at Lieu Tu.
