Specific Microbial Attachment to Root Knot Nematodes in Suppressive SoilMohamed Adam,a,b Andreas Westphal,a Johannes Hallmann,a Holger HeueraJulius K n Institut ederal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants, Braunschweig, Atg4 Purity & Documentation Germanya; Division of Zoology and Nematology, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Cairo, EgyptbUnderstanding the interactions of plant-parasitic nematodes with antagonistic soil microbes could deliver possibilities for novel crop protection Melatonin Receptor Gene ID methods. 3 arable soils were investigated for their suppressiveness against the root knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla. For all 3 soils, M. hapla created considerably fewer galls, egg masses, and eggs on tomato plants in unsterilized than in sterilized infested soil. Egg numbers have been decreased by as much as 93 . This suggested suppression by soil microbial communities. The soils drastically differed inside the composition of microbial communities and in.
