摘要

Several perennial and annual crops in the northern coast of Peru significantly reduce their productivity due to the damage caused by root-knot nematodes (RKN, Meloidogyne spp.). Routine nematode analyses carried out on these crops detected the presence of Pasteuria penetrans (Thorne) Sayre and Starr endospores attached to second stage juveniles (J2) of RKN. Soil sampling was carried out in different valleys to determine the prevalence and the number of attached endospores of P. penentrans. We also compared whether the differences between population fluctuations of Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood in soils infested and not by P. penetrans were linked to a potential suppressive effect. 17.8% of soil samples collected from grapevine, pepper and banana plants in the valleys of Medio Piura, Bajo Piura, Alto Piura, Chira, San Lorenzo and Olmos showed presence of P. penetrans. No endopores were found in samples from crops such as sugar cane and asparagus. An average of 30.5 endospores per nematode was estimated. The J2 populations found in grapevine cultivated soils not infested with P. penetrans were 1.7 to 2.3 times higher than in soils infested by P. penetrans. The percentages of J2 with endospores were correlated (ρ = 0.35; P < 0.02) with the abundance of M. incognita populations. These results confirm the widespread occurrence of P. penetrans in the crops and valleys sampled and its biological potential as a natural suppressor of Meloidogyne spp. populations in the northern coast of Peru. Further long-term surveys are needed to confirm the impact of P. penetrans on nematode regulation and collect isolates for taxonomic, molecular and host-specificity studies.
