Influences of nitrogen inputs on nematode populations under highbush blueberry


Zacytuj

Figure 1:

Changes through time in the percentage of samples with Pratylenchus crenatus, Rotylenchus robustus, and Paratrichodorus renifer in the experimental area. At each sample date, a single 100 cm3 sample from each of 24 plots (six replicates of four N fertilization treatments) in the experimental area was analyzed. Blueberry bushes were planted in fall of 2008.

Figure 2:

Effects of fertilizer nitrogen application rates on population densities of Rotylenchus robustus, from September, 2009 through June, 2019. Error bars are one standard error projecting above the 0N control (pooled standard error from overall ANOVA of non-transformed data). Within a date, points labeled with the same letter are not significantly different (p < 0.05) based on Diff procedure in mixed model repeated measures analysis of log-transformed data. NS, no significant differences.
