Overview

Luc Tirry is affiliated with Ghent University in Belgium and specializes in Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a specific focus on Plant Science. Their research primarily addresses nematode management and characterization studies as well as legume nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. Additionally, they have contributed to cassava research, particularly concerning cyanide.

The scientist's recent publications include studies on the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne chitwoodi and its interactions with various plant hosts. Notable papers authored by Tirry include:

  • Impact of cover crops on population density of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne chitwoodi (2023), published in Nematology
  • Host plant status and damage threshold of Pea (Pisum sativum) and Celeriac (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum) for the temperate root-knot nematode Meloidogyne chitwoodi (2023), published in European Journal of Plant Pathology
  • Host plant status and damage threshold of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) for the temperate root-knot nematode Meloidogyne chitwoodi (2022), published in Nematology

The scientist frequently collaborates with other researchers, including Lirette M. Taning, Sander Fleerakkers, Wim Wesemael, Louis Lippens, and Ellen M. Formesyn.

Tirry's work is commonly published in venues such as:

  • Nematology
