Pathogenicity of Meloidogyne spp. and Rotylenchulus reniformis on Sweet Potato

Ruben M. Gapasin and R.B Valdez1 ABSTRACT The reaction of sweet potato to Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica and Rotylenchulus reniformis at varying levels of inoculum showed that as population increases there was a corresponding decrease in root, tuber and top weights. Tuber reduction in pots at initial populations of 20,000 eggs and 5,000 larvae of …

Leaf-litter decomposition and nutrient release dynamics of some savanna agroforestry tree species: A model for soil improvement strategies

Oyebamiji Noah Alabi1*, Ibrahim Hajara1, Adelani David Olusegun2 and Ojekunle Oluseyi Opeyemi1 ABSTRACT The application of leguminous agroforestry tree species using leafy biomass to improve soil fertility in the savanna alfisols is observed to be uncommon. Although, if applied, leguminous leafy biomass increases soil organic matter and improves its fertility potentials for crop productivity. This …
