Figure 3

Differential responses of Meloidogyne incognita to synthetic blends and effect of thymol on their chemotaxis responses. Response of Meloidogyne incognita infective juveniles (J2s) to different doses of (A) 5-component blend compared to a control (moist sand). (B) Blend minus methyl salicylate (MeSA) compared to a control and (C) blend minus MeSA versus MeSA. N corresponds to the total number of responding J2 while n is the number of J2 corresponding to a given treatment. (D) Effect of thymol on response of Meloidogyne incognita infective juveniles (J2s) to methyl salicylate, the 5-component blend and cultivar California Wonder (CW). N corresponds to the number of responding J2 while n is the number of J2 corresponding to a given treatment. The level of significance in indicated by *P < 0.0001, #P < 0.05 and ns = not significant at P = 0.05.
