Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on developing effective methods to screen peanut cultivars for resistance to the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne arenaria) to enhance agricultural practices.
- - Greenhouse tests showed that using high inoculum levels (over 8,000 eggs/plant) allowed researchers to differentiate resistance levels quickly, while lower levels required more time; assessing gall indices based on galled roots was effective at lower inoculum levels.
- - The timing of inoculation significantly impacted results, as plant age influenced gall indices and nematode reproduction; proper classification of resistance levels was achieved when inoculated 10 to 30 days after planting, but not at 40 days.
Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of three commercial cultivars, eight experimental cultivars and common bermudagrass to clethodim, glufosinate and glyphosate. Each herbicide was applied at eight doses. Data were regressed on herbicide dose using a log-logistic curve (R2 = 0.

Generally, susceptibility of P. maculiventris to insecticides was significantly greater than or not significantly different from that of E.
