Effect of sewage water on the penetration and development of Tylenchulus semipenetrans

Abstract

Recently, many countries have established sewage water treatment plants and have used treated sewage water for agricultural irrigation. As there is no published information, an experiment was undertaken to ascertain the effect of treated sewage water on the development of the citrus nematode (Tylenchulus semipenetrans Cobb) in lime (Citrus aurantifolia L.) roots.
