"The common yam planted in Zhongpu township, Chiayi County and Zuozhen township, Tainan county were infected by plant parasitic nematodes. The diseased yam tuber had either galling or dry rot symptom on the surface. The root-knot females recovered from the galling yam tuber were processed for the perineal pattern, and found to be the same as Meloidogyne incognita Chitwood, 1949. The J_2 had the tail length between 46.3-552.5μm and the tail hayline region 10.0-13.1μm. According to these data, the nematode was identified as M. incognita. Cross-dissecting the dry rot diseased yam could found the tissue under the epiderma was brown and dried. The female nematode isolated from these tubers had pronounced stylet and stylet knobs. The lip region was slightly off-set with 2 body annuals. The lateral region had 4 incisures, tail conical shaped with either saw-like or blunt tail end. These morphomatrical data was consistent with Pratylenchus coffeae Filipjev and Stekhoven, 1941. Screening of the 18 common yam cultivars that planted with higher frequency in Taiwan found no resistance or tolerance to either M incognita or P. coffeae. Three pre-planting tuber treatments were tested in this study, and the results found that nematicides soakage or methyl bromide fumigation could not effectively kill these 2 nematodes parasited in the common yam tubers. However, warm water bath could kill all root-knot nematodes at 50°C, treating for 90 mins, and the egg masses recovered from the treated tuber could not infect water spinach later. P coffeae could be killed at the lower temperature; treating the tuber at 48°C for 90 mins or 49°C for 30 mins could ensure the death of the nematode." |
