Study Notes
Organic Amendments for Peanut Growth and Resistance
- Organic amendments (e.g., cattle manure, compost, fulvic acid) enhance peanut growth.
- Amendments improve plant tolerance to Meloidogyne arenaria (root-knot nematode).
Nematode Survey
- A survey identified seven plant-parasitic nematode genera in Ismailia, Egypt peanut fields.
- Meloidogyne (88%) was the most prevalent genus.
- Other genera included Tylenchorhynchus, Helicotylenchus, Rotylenchulus, and Xiphinema.
Peanut Cultivar Susceptibility
- Cultivars Ismailia-1 and Ismailia-2 showed susceptibility to Meloidogyne arenaria.
- Giza-5 and Giza-6 were highly susceptible.
Organic Amendment Treatments
- Organic treatments reduced Meloidogyne arenaria galls, root egg masses, and nematode numbers in the soil.
- Fosthiazate (a nematicide) provided the greatest reduction.
- Amendments increased enzymatic antioxidant activity (peroxidase, catalase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase, and total phenolics).
Greenhouse Experiments
- Four peanut cultivars were tested under greenhouse conditions with and without M. arenaria infection.
- Significant differences in plant growth (shoot length, fresh/dry weight, root length and dry weight) were observed between cultivars and treatments.
- Cultivar Giza 6 showed the greatest damage.
Effect of Organic Amendments on Peanut Growth
- Amendments led to significant enhancements in shoot/root length, fresh/dry weight, pod weight and number of nodules.
- Specific treatments (e.g., cattle manure + compost) yielded superior results compared to control (infected) plants.
Biochemical Parameter Effects
- The results of enzymatic (peroxidase, catalase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, chitinase, and β-1,3 glucanase) and total phenolics analysis showed significant improvement in treated plants.
Multivariate Analysis
- MANOVA analysis revealed significant effects of various treatments on several peanut parameters.
- Different treatments demonstrated notable impacts on growth and biochemical attributes.
