Interaction between Meloidogyne enterolobii and Helicotylenchu​​s dihysteroides in guava seedlings.
In order to evaluate the effect of joint infection by Meloidogyne enterolobii and Helicotylenchus dihysteroides on vegetative growth of guava seedlings (Psidium guajava L.), as well as to observe symptoms caused by pathogens in host plants, an experiment was conducted in microplots. In these experimental units, suspensions were used containing H. dihysteroides and M. enterolobii. The plants were separately inoculated with H. dihysteroides and jointly inoculated with H. dihysteroides and M. enterolobii, and the blank controls were represented by noninoculated plants. No significant differences were observed between treatments related to morpho-physiological variables of guava seedlings, but joint inoculation resulted in a reduced final population of H. dihysteroides. It was also concluded that neither infection by H. dihysteroides alone nor a joint infection by the two pathogens caused any damage to guava seedlings.
