| Abstract | |
Common bean is grown in several countries around the world. Brazil is the second main producing of dry grains, which is the main source of protein for national consumption. The root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica, are the major species causing yield reduction in that crop. However, the host status of actual cultivars to those rootknot nematodes is unknown. Likewise, the distribution, resistance and damage caused by Pratylenchus brachyurus to the crop were not investigated yet. In view of such situation, the present work aimed survey and identify phytonematodes in common bean fields; verify the effect of P. brachyurus on the growth of the cultivar Pérola; and the host status of actual cultivars to P. brachyurus, M. incognita and M. javanica, in order to enable the management in infested areas, as well as to use like source of resistance in breeding programs. A total of 69 samples from ten cities in Paraná and São Paulo State were surveyed. The effects of different population densities of P. brachyurus on the growth of cultivar Pérola and on parameters of resistance [FR=final population (Pf)/initial population (Pi) and nematodes/g of roots (Nem./g)] were evaluated. Thirty five common bean cultivars, adapted to center-west, southeast and south of Brazil were evaluated for resistance to the three main species found in the survey. The cultivars with FR=1 as susceptible. The following species were found in the surveys: P. brachyurus, P. crenatus, M. incognita, M. javanica, Rotylenchulus reniformis e Helicotylenchus dihystera. Reduction in root fresh weight (g) of cultivar Pérola, in the treatments inoculated with 6.66 and 20 nem./cm³ of soil were observed. The FR was higher in the treatments with low Pi (0.83 and 2.5 nem./cm³ of soil). Despite the cultivars have shown varied FR, resistance for the three nematode species studied was not found in any cultivar. (AU) | |
