Manejo de Meloidogyne javanica na cultura da soja com crotalarias

Abstract

The use of antagonistic plants may play an important role in phytonematodes control. Green crops can be used in succession with the summer economic crops. The objective of this work was to evaluate the control of antagonistic plants (C. juncea, C. breviflora, C. spectabilis) to the nematode population of Meloidogyne javanica in succession to soybean. The experiment was started with soybean cultivation, afterwards three species of crotalaria and again another cycle of soybean. The populational reduction of the nematode in the three crotalaria species was reached, more prominently for C. breviflora and C. spectabilis.
