Production processes


Project code: JKI-EP-08-2223
Contract period: 01.10.2011 - 30.09.2015
Purpose of research: Applied research

The damage potential in sugar beet production of the plant-parasitic nematode H. schachtii seems to vary between regions of Germany. This might be related to different virulence of geographic populations of H. schachtii, or different suppressive potential of microbial communities associated with the nematode. The project aims to differentiate populations of H. schachtii based on pathogenicity genes, and relate genetic differences to virulence. Microorganisms associated with life stages of H. schachtii (eggs, juveniles) will be analysed by molecular techniques. Factors affecting microbial colonization of juveniles in soil (soil type, organic amendment) will be investigated, and how microbial attachment affects root penetration.
