The Effect of Nematode Isolate and Soil Environment on the Tobacco cyst Nematode (Globodera tabacum solanacearum), a Pathogen of Flue-cured Tobacco and Other Solanaceous Crops
… threaten production of other solanaceous crops. Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), pepper (Capsicum spp. L.), and tomato (Lycopersicon spp. L.) were confirmed to be hosts of TCN under field conditions. Eggplant was highly susceptible to TCN reproduction and yield suppression, exhibiting a 64% yield …
