| dc.description.abstract | Two arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) isolated from a
pyrethrum-growing region in Kenya were screened for efficacy against a
nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, in greenhouses. The fungi were
identified at INVAM (International Culture Collection of Vesicular
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi) as Glomus etunicatum (Isolate KS18)
and Glomus sp. (Isolate KS14). Isolate KS14 (Glomus sp.) significantly
suppressed nematode population, growth and development by up to
54%, egg production by up to 75% and disease severity by up to 71%.
Glomus etunicatum (Isolate KS18) suppressed nematode growth and
development by up to 50%, egg production by up to 75% and disease
severity by up to 57%. In addition, G. etunicatum and Isolate KS14,
significantly improved top dry biomass of pyrethrum by up to 33% and
47%, respectively. Glomus etunicatum and M. hapla were mutually
inhibitory as root colonization by G. etunicatum was significantly
reduced (up to 24%) by the presence of the nematode. The presence
of the nematodes, on the other hand, did not significantly affect root
colonization by Isolate KS14. | en_US |
