Abstract: | On the first of seeds germination, Meloidogyne javanica induced knots on the stem eventually by to penetrate into the coleoptiles. In this experiment, used soil was loamy-sandy type, pH=7.2, including 1.5% composts. Tomato seedlings of cultivar Rutgers were used as host. This experiment was conducted in Completely Randomized Design with 3 treatments and 10 replicates as fallow: (1) control, (2) 10 J2s/cm3 of soil, (3) 20 J2s/cm3 of soil. In each pot (1000 cm3), 50 seeds were planted. Inoculation was done, a day after to plant seeds, in 2 cm depth. Pre-emergence and post-emergence damping-off, number of stem-knots, height of knots on the stem in 3 treatments was more than 2 treatments. In some of the pots of 2 treatments were not observed stem-knots. As long as four weeks after planting, there was not significant difference in fresh weight and height of the seedlings in treatments. Numbers of adult females in 3 treatments were more than 2. In the stem-knots, collenchymas tissue, endodermis and stem cambium were found deformed J2s and J3s, and adult females. |
