Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of six animal wastes as
soil amendments. i.e. poultry. pigeon. horse. sheep manures as well as died bee
workers and shrimp shell powders in comparison with oxamyl (Vydate 24% EC.)
against citrus nematode. Tytenchulus semipenetrens infecting sour-orange plant
Citrus eurentium L. under greenhouse conditions at 25 1 5°C. Obviously all tested
components improved plant growth parameters of sour-orange plant and significantly
reduced nematode population to certain extent. except that of shrimp shell treatment
that showed a negative result of whole plant fresh weight with value of -12.94% with a
slight increase in shoot dry weight (40%). Among the tested animal products. horse
or pigeon or poultry manures appeared to be the most effective in increasing total
plant fresh and shoot dry weights as well as reducing nematode population. Their
values were recorded to be 193.32 and 160.00%; 133.24 and 136.00%; 144.71 and
112.00% as well as 70.33%. 70.16% and 70.19%. respectively.
Moreover. bee workers powder and sheep manure treatments showed the
moderately percentage increase for the whole plant fresh and shoot dry weights with
values of 95.29. 33.00% and 69.21 and 56.00%. respectively. Meanwhile, sheep < /p>
manure. bee workers and shrimp shells powders gave considerable percentages of
nematode reduction with values of 69.90. 69.63 and 66.84%. respectively. In
addition. oxamyl treatment achieved the highest percentage of increase in plant
growth parameters as well as rate of nematode pepulation reduction.
