Interaction of Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) (Nemata: Meloidogynidae) and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici Jarvis & Shoemaker in tomato F1 hybrids with differing levels of resistance to these pathogens

Abstract

The interaction of Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White, 1919) (Rhabditida: Meloidogynidae) and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici Jarvis & Shoemaker (FORL) on nematode reproduction and wilt severity was investigated in tomato hybrids in this study. The study included with five combinations of individual, simultaneous and sequential inoculations of M. incognita and FORL to tomato F1 hybrids Adel, Alberty, Armstrong, Body, Gülizar and Kaplan in January-May 2021 under controlled conditions. The experiment was completed after 60 days. Simultaneous inoculation increased M. incognita galls and egg masses in Adel, Armstrong, Body, and Gülizar. The highest gall and egg mass numbers occurred with FORL inoculation 10 days after M. incognita inoculation (N+10 FORL) in Alberty and Kaplan. The highest disease incidence occurred in all tomato hybrids at the application of N+10 FORL and was followed by Gülizar, Kaplan, Body, Alberty, Armstrong and Adel. Meloidogyne incognita showed high reproductive rates in Alberty and Body, and FORL resistance was overcome with treatment N+10 FORL. Meloidogyne incognita was unable to reproduce in Adel and Armstrong and thus no disease was seen. The results indicated that the development of root-knot nematodes is a significant factor affecting the durability of FORL resistance.
