Effect of Carbamate, Organophosphate, and Avermectin Nematicides on Oxygen Consumption by Three Meloidogyne spp
Abstract:
Second-stage juveniles (I2) of Meloidogyne arenaria consumed more oxygen (P = 0.05) than M. incognita J2, which in turn consumed more than M. javanica J2 (4,820, 4,530, and 3,970 mul per hour per g nematode dryweight, respectively). Decrease in oxygen consumption depended on the nematicide used. Except for aldicarb, there was no differential sensitivity among the three nematode species. Meloidogyne javanica had a greater percentage decrease (P = 0.05) in oxygen uptake when treated with aldicarb, relative to the untreated control, than either M. arenaria or M. incognita. Meloidogyne javanica J2 had a greater degree of recovery from fenamiphos or aldicarb intoxication, after subsequent transfer to water, than did M. incognita. This finding may relate to differential sensitivity among Meloidogyne spp. in the field. Degree of respiratory inhibition and loss of nematode motility for M. javanica after exposure to the nematicides were positively correlated (P = 0.05).
