A Suvery Of Nematode Pest Of Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) In Okopedi, Itu Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
ABSTRACT
A
survey was conducted lo access the incidence of plant parasitic nematode on
cucumber in five farms in Okopedi, Itu Local Government Arca, of Akwa Ibom
state. The experiment was conducted using 13carman's·cxtraction technique to
extract nematodes. The results showed that the crops of cucumber in all the
three farms were infected with root knot nematodes. Result also revealed that
Meloidogyne spp. had the highest frequency of 720 (24.0%) in all the farms
sampled, while Longidorus spp. had the lowest percentage occurrence of 40
(2.29%) in all the farms sampled. This study showed that cucumber plants are
more susceptile to Meloidogyne spp. and Paralogidorus spp. there was no
significant difference in the mean values of nematodes present in the three sites
sampled (p<0.05). A combination of cultural, physical and chemical . means
of nematode control is suggested to reduce the menace of plant parasitic
nematodes
