Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, the aim of determining the reactions of different gerbera cultivars ( Gerbera jamesonii L.) to the plant-parasitic nematode Aphelenchoides besseyi was investigated. The reactions of three different gerbera cultivars, Rosellin, Done, and Mor, which were infected in two different trials, were compared. Based on 100 plants, it was found that the mortality rates of the gerbera were 40%, 30%, and 20% for Rosellin, Done, and Mor respectively. The lowest mortality against Aphelenchoides besseyi was observed in the Mor variety cultivar.
