Background and aims Crop diversity has been repeatedly shown to support multiple
ecosystem functions, both directly and indirectly, driven by interspecific root-root interactions …

The ecosystem is considerably affected due to the extensive use of chemical pesticides and
fertilizers. As an alternative strategy, this study aimed to assess the biocontrol potential of the …

Effective biosafe management strategies are used to decrease world crop damage
produced by plant-parasitic nematodes. This study evaluated the efficiency of hydroxyapatite …

Aims and methods This study aimed to evaluate the effects of four AMF inoculation
treatments (Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus intraradices, Glomus versiforme and a …

Intercropping systems often contribute to soil health management including inhibiting root-
knot nematode disease. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the potential …

Background Plant-parasitic nematodes are one of the major constraints to soybean
production around the world. Plant-parasitic nematodes cause an estimated $78 billion in …

Furfural acetone (FAc) is a promising alternative to currently available nematicides, and it
exhibits equivalent control efficiency on root-knot nematodes with avermectin in fields …

Background and aims Intercropping non-host plants is usually a feasible practice to reduce
root-knot nematodes (RKN) in agricultural soils. Here, the chemotaxis of non-host roots for …

Bacteria, fungi, and nematodes are major components of soil ecosystems, playing pivotal
roles in belowground material cycles and biological community processes. A number of …

Soil biotic and abiotic factors can affect the interaction between invasive and native species.
However, it is not yet clear how arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis affects the interaction …
