Numbers of juveniles of (A) Meloidogyne incognita and (B) Rotylenchulus reniformis hatched after incubating their eggs in vermicompost teas prepared from vermicompost composed of bamboo and kudzu (weed VCT) and vegetable food waste (vegetable VCT), and water control for 7 d. Columns (n = 4) with same letter(s) are not different according to Waller–Duncan k-ration (k = 100) t-test.

Effect of vermicompost teas prepared from vermicompost composed of bamboo and kudzu (weed VCT), vegetable food waste (vegetable VCT) compared to water control on root penetration of (A) Meloidogyne incognita in cucumber, and (B) Rotylenchulus reniformis in cowpea using split-root assays. Means are average of five and four replications for M. incognita and R. reniformis, respectively. Column followed by same letter(s) are not different according to Waller-Duncan k-ration (k = 100) t-test based on log transformed values, log (x+1).
