Short Communication SHORT COMMUNICATION NANDINI GOKTE & V. K. MATHUR1): Treatment schedule for denematization of seeds of Setaria italica and Panicum miliaceum infested with Aphelenchoides besseyi. Seeds of Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.) and Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) received for quarantine clearance, prior to export, were found to be infested with Aphelenchoides besseyi Christie. Although information is available on treatment schedules for eradication of A. besseyi from paddy (rice) seeds (Fortuner & Orton Williams, 1975), there is little information on seeds of other crops. Therefore, studies were initiated to establish treatment schedules for denematization of seeds of S. italica and P. miliaceum infested with A. besseyi. Naturally infested seeds of S. italica and P. miliaceum, with an inoculum load of approximately 400 and 200 nematodes per 100 seeds, respectively, were used. Lots of 200 seeds each were given hot water treatment at 46, 48 or 50 °C for 15 or 30 min, with or without pre-soaking. Seeds were pre-soaked either by immersion in water at room temperature (20-30° C) for 16 h or in 0.5 or 1 % hydrogen peroxide (H202) for 3 h. After treatment the seeds were thoroughly dried. There were five replicates of each treatment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nematologica Brill
