Abstract | ||||
A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of six animal wastes as soil amendments. i.e. poultry. pigeon. horse. sheep manures as well as died bee workers and shrimp shell powders in comparison with oxamyl (Vydate 24% EC.) against citrus nematode. Tytenchulus semipenetrens infecting sour-orange plant Citrus eurentium L. under greenhouse conditions at 25 1 5°C. Obviously all tested components improved plant growth parameters of sour-orange plant and significantly reduced nematode population to certain extent. except that of shrimp shell treatment that showed a negative result of whole plant fresh weight with value of -12.94% with a slight increase in shoot dry weight (40%). Among the tested animal products. horse or pigeon or poultry manures appeared to be the most effective in increasing total plant fresh and shoot dry weights as well as reducing nematode population. Their values were recorded to be 193.32 and 160.00%; 133.24 and 136.00%; 144.71 and 112.00% as well as 70.33%. 70.16% and 70.19%. respectively. Moreover. bee workers powder and sheep manure treatments showed the moderately percentage increase for the whole plant fresh and shoot dry weights with values of 95.29. 33.00% and 69.21 and 56.00%. respectively. Meanwhile, sheep < /p> manure. bee workers and shrimp shells powders gave considerable percentages of nematode reduction with values of 69.90. 69.63 and 66.84%. respectively. In addition. oxamyl treatment achieved the highest percentage of increase in plant growth parameters as well as rate of nematode pepulation reduction. | ||||
