Soil Temperature Effects on Onion Seedling Injury by Pratylenchus penetrans
Journal of Nematology
|March 27, 2009
Abstract:
The effect of soil temperatures 7-25 C upon injury to seedling onions by Pratylenchus penetrans was investigated. At 7-13 C < 100 nematodes/g of root caused significant reduction in onion root weights by the fifth week. More than 400 nematodes/g were required to produce comparable injury at 16-25 C.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.
Factors Affecting Body Temperature
As a nurse, it is vital to understand the factors affecting body temperature to monitor variations and effectively evaluate deviations from regular.
Factors may include:
