Abstract

This research work was carried out under greenhouse condition to evaluate three different honeybee products i.e. royal jelly, bee venom and propolis at different concentrations to control root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica, on tomato plants. Results of this study revealed that all tested honeybee products at all concentrations significantly reduced all nematode parameters when compared with the treated plants with nematode alone. Applying the royal jelly at the rate of 1% was the highly effective in reducing all nematode parameters. The highest percentages of reduction in number of galls, egg-masses, developmental stages, females/root system, juveniles in soil, final nematode population (PF) as well as the reproduction factor (RF) were showed with this treatment by 97; 99; 100; 100; 92; 98 and 98%, respectively. The treatment of royal jelly at the concentration of 2% was the second effective one followed by bee venom in the third rank at the concentration of 0.005%. The lowest reduction obtained with the propolis at all tested concentration. Results also showed that all honey bee products at all concentrations enhanced markedly all plant growth parameters i.e. plant height; root length; fresh shoot and root weight. Results revealed that all applied treatments maintained on the cell wall and reduced the membrane permeability compared to plants treated with nematode alone. The lowest percentage membrane permeability (membrane leakage%) was found with the royal jelly at 1% as it reached 26% compared to the treated plants with nematode alone (reached 97%). The contents of the amino acid proline in plants was also affected with the applied treatments as the highest proline content was obtained with the same treatment of royal jelly at 1%.
