Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Population dynamics of M. graminicola eggs and second-stage juveniles (J2) in the soil in the rain-fed upland agroecosystem (A), the dry aerobic rice agroecosystem (B) and the lowland double-rice cropping sequence agroecosystem (C) from May 2021 to February 2022. The initial M. graminicola populations in the soil in the rain-fed upland agroecosystem, the dry aerobic rice agroecosystem and the lowland double-rice cropping sequence agroecosystem were 102 ± 32 J2s and 36 ± 8 eggs/100 cm3 soil, 467 ± 102 J2 and 113 ± 38 eggs/100 cm3 soil, and 246 ± 64 J2s and 52 ± 17 eggs/100 cm3 soil, respectively.

Figure 2:

Fluctuations in root galling (A) and root galling index (B) caused by M. graminicola recorded on rice roots in the rain-fed upland agroecosystem (variety Huanghuazhan), the dry aerobic rice agroecosystem (variety Hanyou73) and the lowland double-rice cropping sequence agroecosystem (variety Xiangzaoxian45 and Zhuliangyou819) from May 2021 to February 2022.
