Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Experimental apparatus used in vertical migration assay of second-stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne floridensis. Column consists of three 4.4-cm-d x 4-cm long rings taped together to one 2-cm long ring filled with sandy soil. Four-week-old tomato or Tagete patula plants were transplanted to 300-cm3 Styrofoam cups and taped to the upper end of the columns – cups with no plants were used as control. Freshly hatched J2 were injected through an injection hole, 1 cm above the base of the column. Arrows indicate where the 35-µm or 15-µm meshes were attached.

Figure 2:

Distribution of recovered second-stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne floridensis as a function of distance migrated and temperature at 3 (A), 6 (B), 9 (C), and 12 (D) days after injection. Nematode distribution along the column (4-cm long rings taped together) over time and at 20 and 26°C was statistically different when data were subjected to Χ
2 test (p < 0.01).

Figure 3:

Percentage of active second-stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne floridensis recovered at 3, 6, 9, and 12 days after injection (DAI) at 20 and 26°C from sandy soil contained in PVC columns. The columns were comprised of 4-cm long x 4.4-cm internal diameter rings. Nematode distribution over time and at both temperatures was statistically different when data were subjected to Χ
2 test (p < 0.01).

Figure 4:

Distribution of active second-stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne floridensis as a function of distance migrated at 3, 6, 9, and 12 days after injection (DAI). As there was no significant interaction with temperature, 20 and 26°C data were combined.

2 test (p < 0.01).

Penetration of second-stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne floridensis on tomato or marigold over time after vertically migrating over 13 cm in sandy soil-filled PVC columns. Figures followed by the same letter do not differ according to Tukey’s multiple comparison test (p ≥ 0.05) and error bars indicate SEM.
