Variation in plant response, gall size and form induced by Meloidogyne on some Malaysian crops.

บทคัดย่อ

Meloidogyne or root-knot is the most obnoxious plant parasitic nematode in the tropics. Plants attacked by the nematode manifest symptoms of root galling, retarded growth of the above-ground parts and yellowing of the leaves. This condition results in lowering of the quality and quantity of the harvest.
