Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation This is the first report of a Scutellonema species associated with turmeric in Vietnam.
- Association Nematode population density was significantly inversely correlated with the phytochemical quality of turmeric.
- Association High nematode infestation was associated with a marked decline in total curcuminoid content.
- Association Lower nematode density was associated with bisdemethoxycurcumin levels increasing by up to 250%.
- Association Lower infestation levels resulted in significantly enhanced antioxidant capacity and cytotoxic activity of the rhizomes.
- Recommendation Effective nematode management is suggested to be crucial for yield protection and to optimize secondary metabolite profiles of medicinal plants.
