Abstract
A 25-year-old intensive monoculture of cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Monolit F1') has been chosen for monitoring the effect of continuous fertilization, drip irrigation and various soil disinfection on free-living nematodes in soil. Densities, relative abundance of nematode genera, trophic groups and c-p classes, in addition, numerous nematological indices were determined besides certain soil properties. Concerning the nematological indices, all the values proved a stressed, depleted and unstable environment with degraded food web condition. The exaggerated application of fertilizers through irrigation caused high salinity values (0.62 %) which is much higher than the indicated toxicity threshold (0.4 %) for cultivated plants. The number of individuals of the bacterivore Acrobeloides and Cuticularia genera, which have a very high stress tolerance, was outstanding in the area. Besides juveniles, the appearance of Meloidogyne incognita males was also recorded which could lead to a change in the genetic composition of the population to adapt to environmental stressors. All these changes may result from salt stress indicated by intensive drip irrigation and the use of artificial fertilizers.
期刊介绍:
Helminthologia (HELMIN), published continuously since 1959, is the only journal in Europe that encompasses the individual and collaborative efforts of scientists working on a different topics of human, veterinary and plant helminthology. The journal responsibility is to enrich the theoretical and practical knowledge in very specific areas and thus contribute to the advancements in human and veterinary medicine and agronomy. Taking the advantage of comprehensive and multidisciplinary approaches journal still maintains its original spirit and is principal source of fresh scientific information regarding helminths, endoparasites and plant parasites. Addressing the most up-to date topics journal gained rightful and exceptional place next to the other high-quality scientific journals publishing in its field.
