Figures & Tables

Figure 1:

Reniform nematode (RN) in 100 cm3 of soil, by amendment, in Trial 1 (A), Trial 2 (B), and Trial 3 (C). Ctrl = control without organic matter (OM), Fresh OM= treatment with fresh OM, Dry OM = treatments with dry OM. Letters indicate treatment separation by Kruskal-Wallis with Bonferroni's method, P < 0.05. Data is displayed as boxplots.

Figure 4:

Spearman correlation between reniform nematode (RN) and plant parameters in Trial 1 (A), Trial 2 (B), and Trial 3 (C) in experiment 1. Numbers inside squares represent the rho value if P ≤ 0.05. Empty squares represent P ≥ 0.05. Signs before numbers and colors indicate the magnitude of the correlation. 1 (orange color) = perfect positive association of rank, −1 (blue color) = perfect negative association between ranks. RF = Reproduction factor.
