Hospedabilidade de Tubixaba tuxaua em adubos verdes

Abstract

The lack of knowledge concerning the nematoid of the genus Tubixaba makes its control very hard. This nematoid has a polyphagous habit and does not yet have resistant genotypes of commercial crops in agriculture. The study of non-host plants and antagonist plants, for use in rotation, is of extreme importance. The project was carried out by cultivating green fertilizers in plant pots and inoculating the nematoid Tubixaba tuxaua in them. For the T. tuxaua extraction, the technique used was developed for the species, with sieve adjustment. The final population of the nematoid was quantified per pot, and from this number the green manure was classified as good or bad hosts. This project aimed, using species of plants as green manure, to classify antagonists to the phytonematoid Tubixaba taxaua in greenhouse conditions.
