Nematology; 2) Behaviour of Nematodes and 3) Biological control of Plant Parasitic Nematodes i) Title of D.Sc thesis : Studies on the behaviour of nematodes ii) Title of Ph.D Thesis : Observations on the behaviour of nematodes 2 Research Experience : Twenty Two years (since 1-2-1980) My research interest revolves around applied aspects of nematodes such as biological control and behaviour of nematodes. In 1980 when I started research very little was known about predatory nematodes, their behaviour and their role as nematode bio-control agents India and abroad. During a span of 21 years I have authored one book, contributed several chapters to books and published 92 research papers. Most of these publications are based on original research conducted on various aspects of predatory nematode’s behaviour such as predatory behaviour, prey searching and feeding behaviour, prey selection behaviour, numerical analysis and mathematical formulae to quantify strike rate of predatory nematodes, degree of resistance and susceptibility of plant parasitic nematode to predation, food and feeding habits of predatory nematodes, prey searching, attraction and aggregation behaviour, role of kairomones in prey searching behaviour, biological control potentials of predatory nematodes, host searching, attraction and aggregation behaviour of entomopathogenic nematodes etc. Besides, studies were also conducted on, predatory habits of mites and protozoans, histochemical localization of enzymes involve in carbohydrate metabolism, generic diversity and community analysis of predatory nematodes etc. The work done on predatory nematodes is widely acclaimed, which has been cited widely in various journals and books by national and international scientists. I have held several research collaboration and worked in some of the leading Laboratories of the world. Worked for about one year with Prof. Eizo Kondo, in the Department of Applied Biological Sciences, Saga University, Saga, Japan as a Visiting Fellow of the Japanese Society for Promotion of Science. During this period I had worked on the role of kairomones in host searching, attraction and aggregation behaviour of entomopathogenic nematodes. I had also worked with Prof. Randy Gaugler in the Department of Entomology, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA for about four months as a visiting scientist. We had worked on the feeding, attraction, and aggregation behaviour of predatory nematodes and culture techniques for predatory nematodes. Presently I am working as a visiting Scholar with Prof. Wenju Liang in the Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, China for four months. We are working on community structure of nematodes and nematode-bacterial interactions in various agroecosystems. Besides, I have interacted with many other leading nematologists in various parts of the world such as Sweden, England, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Hongkong, Taiwan, Egypt, USA, Japan, China etc. and have good experience of working with them for short and long durations.

Thesis: A Pattison The importance of the antagonistic potential in the management of populations of plant-parasitic nematodes in banana ( Musa AAA) as influenced by agronomic factors Plant-parasitic nematodes are a major obstacle to sustainable banana production around the world. The use of organic amendments was investigated as one method to stimulate organisms that are antagonistic to plant-parasitic nematodes. Nine different amendments; mill mud, mill ash (by-products from processing sugarcane), biosolids, municipal waste (MW) compost, banana residue, grass hay, legume hay, molasses and calcium silicate (CaSi) were applied in a glasshouse experiment. Significant suppression of Radopholus similis occurred in soils amended with legume hay, grass hay, banana residue and mill mud relative to untreated soil, which increased the nematode community structure index, indicating greater potential for predation.

Acceplecl for publication 5 November 1996. Summary - In Argentina, soil nematodes constitute a diverse group of invertebrates. This widely distributed group incJudes more than twO hundred currently valid species, among which the plant-parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes are the most remarkable. The former includes species that cause damages to certain crops (mainly MeloicU:igyne spp, Nacobbus aberrans, Ditylenchus dipsaci, Tylenchulus semipenetrans, and Xiphinema index), the latter inc1udes various species of the Mermithidae family, and also the genera Steinernema and Helerorhabditis. There are few full-time nematologists in the country, and they work on taxonomy, distribution, host-parasite relationships, control, and different aspects of the biology of the major species. Due tO the importance of these organisms and the scarcity of information existing in Argentina about them, nematology can be considered a promising field for basic and applied research. Résumé - Les nématodes et l'agriculture en Argentine. Un aperçu général - Les nématodes du sol représentent en Argentine un groupe très diversifiè.

  • PCR-RFLP and Sequencing Analysis of Ribosomal DNA of Bursaphelenchus Nematodes Related to Pine Wilt Disease(L)
    Fundam. appl. Nemalol., 1998,21 (6), 655-666 PCR-RFLP and sequencing analysis of ribosomal DNA of Bursaphelenchus nematodes related to pine wilt disease(l) Hideaki IvVAHORI, Kaku TSUDA, Natsumi KANZAKl, Katsura IZUI and Kazuyoshi FUTAI Cmduate School ofAgriculture, Kyoto University, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan. Accepted for publication 23 December 1997. Summary -A polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was used for the discri­ mination of isolates of Bursaphelenchus nematode. The isolares of B. xylophilus examined originared from Japan, the United Stares, China, and Canada and the B. mucronatus isolates from Japan, China, and France. Ribosomal DNA containing the 5.8S gene, the internai transcribed spacer region 1 and 2, and partial regions of 18S and 28S gene were amplified by PCR. Digestion of the amplified products of each nematode isolate with twelve restriction endonucleases and examination of resulting RFLP data by cluster analysis revealed a significant gap between B. xylophllus and B. mucronatus. Among the B. xylophilus isolares examined, Japanese pathogenic, Chinese and US isolates were ail identical, whereas Japanese non-pathogenic isolares were slightly distinct and Canadian isolates formed a separate cluster. Among the B. mucronalUS isolates, two Japanese isolares were very similar to each other and another Japanèse and one Chinese isolare were identical to each other. The DNA sequence data revealed 98 differences (nucleotide substitutions or gaps) in 884 bp investigated between B. xylophilus isolare and B. mucronmus isolate; DNA sequence data of Aphelenchus avenae and Aphelenchoides fragariae differed not only from those of Bursaphelenchus nematodes, but also from each other.

  • Root-Knot Nematode Management in Double-Cropped Plasticulture Vegetables
    Journal of Nematology 38(1):59–67. 2006. © The Society of Nematologists 2006. Root-Knot Nematode Management in Double-Cropped Plasticulture Vegetables J. A. Desaeger,A.S.Csinos Abstract: Combination treatments of chisel-injected fumigants (methyl bromide, 1,3-D, metam sodium, and chloropicrin) on a first crop, followed by drip-applied fumigants (metam sodium and 1,3-D ± chloropicrin) on a second crop, with and without oxamyl drip applications were evaluated for control of Meloidogyne incognita in three different tests (2002 to 2004) in Tifton, GA. First crops were eggplant or tomato, and second crops were cantaloupe, squash, or jalapeno pepper. Double-cropped vegetables suffered much greater root-knot nematode (RKN) pressure than first crops, and almost-total yield loss occurred when second crops received no nematicide treatment. On a first crop of eggplant, all fumigants provided good nematode control and average yield increases of 10% to 15 %. On second crops, higher application rates and fumigant combinations (metam sodium and 1,3-D ± chloropicrin) improved RKN control and increased yields on average by 20% to 35 % compared to the nonfumigated control. Oxamyl increased yields of the first crop in 2003 on average by 10% to 15% but had no effect in 2004 when RKN failed to establish itself. On double-cropped squash in 2003, oxamyl following fumigation provided significant additional reduction in nematode infection and increased squash yields on average by 30% to 75%. Key words: Cucurbitaceae, fumigants, Meloidogyne spp., oxamyl, pesticide drip applications, Solanaceae.
