RESUMO

The expressive increase in production of tropical flowers in Pernambuco indicates the State rising interest in ornamentals. This study had the objectives of: 1) screening plant parasitic nematodes in Zingiberales (Etlingera elatior, Zingiber spectabilis, Alpinia purpurata, Musa coccinea, Tapeinoquilos ananassae e Heliconia spp.) producing areas of Pernambuco, 2) predicting number of samples for nematodes monitoring at different acceptable error levels, 3) studying the effect of resistance abiotic inductors on nematode comunity associated with plant roots and soil, 4) evaluating enzymes activity in E. elatior, and 5) evaluating enzymes production in A. purpurata infected with Meloidogyne incognita. Samples (soil and roots of nematode parasited plants) were collected in producing areas from 2002 to 2004. Populational density of plant parasitic nematodes were evaluated and used to predict number of samples for monitoring. The study of induction resistance was carried out in one and two years old plants of a commercial area, fromSeptember to December in 2005. Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM), potassium silicate and neem cake were used as inductors, being analyzed free living and plant parasitic nematodes population density, area under nematode population density curve (AUNPDC), reproduction factor (RF), diameter of plant stem, β-1,3-glucanase and peroxidase activity. Enzymatic activity of esterase, phosphatase and peroxydase was evaluated in A. purpurata infected with M. incognita. Pratylenhus sp., Rotylenchulus sp., Meloidogyne spp., Helicotylenchus sp. and Criconemella sp. were frequents in most of samples. Symptoms of root-knot nematodes were verified in 100 % of the growing areas, being levels of Meloidogyne spp. considered high, up to 375 nematodes per 300 cm3 soil and 6090 nematodes per 20 g of roots, considering different areas and hosts. Among Meloidogyne species, M. incognita, M. arenaria and M. javanica were detected. Data analysis indicatedthat at least 11, 20, 10, 18 and 10 samples per area are recommended for monitoring the genus Pratylenchus, Rotylenchulus, Meloidogyne, Helicotylenchus and Criconemella, respectively, at 20 % error. The associations M. arenaria with E. elatior, Rotylenchulus sp. with A. purpurata, Heliconia spp. and M. coccinia, and Criconemella sp. with A. purpurata consisted of the first occurrence report in Pernambuco, Brazil. ASM was the best resistance inductor, reducing M. incognita population density, AUNPDC and FR with results similar to the nematicide control, but with no influence on free living nematodes in soil. Fitotoxic symptoms were not verified in any treatment. The action of ASM seems to be more related with peroxidases production than the β-1,3-glucanases activity in the plant. Among all of the inductors evaluated, ASM was the most effective inducing resistance against M. incognita in E. elatior. Enzymatic production was higher in A. purpurataparasited than in the controls. The acid phosphatase activity was high in contrast with the low esterase and peroxydase activity expressed in parasited plants.
