Abstract

Numerous phytoparasitic nematodes have been identified in Thailand’s paddy fields, which routinely cause substantial reductions in rice crop yields. However, effective strategies for their management have yet to be documented. In this study, cavalcade legume was used as a soil amendment in RD41 rice fields to examine its effects on the soil nematode community, soil properties, and yield components compared to untreated control plots. The results demonstrated that the population densities of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) in the order Tylenchida, primarily Hirschmanniella sp., significantly decreased in cavalcade-treated plots across all soil sampling periods. Moreover, there was an increase in the populations of beneficial nematodes within the orders Dorylaimida and Araeolaimida. In contrast, greater PPN populations were observed in the control plots compared to the initial nematode population. In addition to reducing PPN populations, this legume showed other benefits, specifically increased soil properties (available P) and rice plant growth (plant height and number of tillers). While there was no statistically significant difference in soil organic matter (SOM) content, the application of this legume tended to increase SOM content, in contrast to a decrease in SOM content observed in the control plots. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the substantial advantages of using cavalcade legumes in RD41 rice fields.
