Prevalence of Rice White Tip Nematode (<em>Aphelenchoides besseyi</em> Christie, 1942) in rice production areas in Çankırı and Çorum provinces
Abstract
Rice white tip nematode (Aphelenchoides besseyi Christie, 1942) is one of the important pests, causing problem in the rice production areas. A. besseyi is a seed-borne and important ectoparasite nematode. Since A. besseyi can stay alive for 2-3 years in the seed stored under dry conditions, it can be spreaded via infected seeds to clean fields.
Prevalence of A. besseyi in Çankırı and Çorum provinces was determined in this study. In order to achieve this aim, seed samples collected from fields and storages were analyzed in 2010. Infection rate of samples obtained from Çankırı and Çorum provinces were 8.82% and 28.27% respectively. When compared to previous studies, our findings showed that prevalence of nematode did not change in Çankırı but increased twice in Çorum.
