Current occurrence and prevalence of root-knot nematodes species, Meloidogyne spp. Goeldi, 1892 (Tylenchida: Meloidogynidae) in ware potato fields of Turkey

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the occurrence, frequency and density of species of Meloidogyne Goeldi, 1892 (Tylenchida: Meloidogynidae) in ware potato cultivation areas of Turkey in Plant Protection Central Research Institute. Soil samples were taken from Afyonkarahisar (149), Aksaray (69), Bolu (94), Kayseri (94), Konya (127), Nevşehir (91), Niğde (226) and Sivas (77) Provinces in 2018-2019. Meloidogyne juveniles were extracted by modified Baarmenn funnel and counted under inverted microscope. Meloidogyne populations were identified by species-specific primers. Meloidogyne spp. were detected in 84 of 927 soil samples. Meloidogyne spp. was detected in Aksaray, Kayseri, Nevşehir, and Niğde while was not found Afyonkarahisar, Bolu, Konya, and Sivas Provinces. In survey areas, the occurrence of Meloidogyne chitwoodi Golden, O'Bannon, Santo & Finley, 1980 and Meloidogyne hapla (Chitwood, 1949) (Tylenchida: Meloidogynidae) was 8.7 and 1.5%, respectively. Also, M. chitwoodi and M. hapla mixed populations were found in 1.2% of samples. Mean density of Meloidogyne spp. J2s was determined as 182, 175, 162 and 90 J2s/100 ml of soil in Niğde, Nevşehir, Aksaray and Kayseri Provinces, respectively. In conclusion, important ware potato cultivation areas of Turkey were found to be infested with Meloidogyne spp., but the important seed potato-growing areas were found to be free of Meloidogyne spp.
