Abstract: | Development of Trophotylenchulus piperis Mohandas et al., 1985 was studied on black pepper roots under laboratory conditions. Second stage juveniles of T.piperis entered the root within 3 days after inoculation. Further development of the juvenile involved the formation of a spherical bulb at midbody length which enlarged on the dorsal side giving a characteristic shape to the adult female. Between 30 and 40 days after inoculation, the protective covering of the nematode case started developing. The fully matured female was covered by a spherical case during 40-50 days after inoculation. The female laid eggs inside the case numbering from 25 to 35 per case. T.piperis completed its life cycle on black pepper roots within 55 days at a room temperature of 24-32oC. |
