two fungal species glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices as well as meloidogyne javanica nematode were used in order to evaluate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on control of different populations of root-knot nematode in tomato. a greenhouse test was established as factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 8 treatments and 4 replicates followed by mycorrhizal...

The Nematodes are roundworms that are found in every environment of the earth. While some species are harmful parasites, others play a vital role in nutrient cycle and medical research. Nematode infestation in the fields is poly-specific; however, depending on the agro-climatic conditions, one or two species are dominant over the rest. The present studies attempts to observe and control the roo...

The endoparasitic nematophagous fungus Meria coniospora reduced root-knot nematode galling on tomatoes in greenhouse pot trials. The fungus was introduced to pots by addition of conidia at several inoculum levels directly to the soil or addition of nematodes infected with M. coniospora to the soil; both methods reduced root galling by root-knot nematodes. These studies represent a part of a rec...

Abstract Background Bacterial bioagents, Pseudomonas fluorescens , P. putida Bacillus amyloliquifaciens and B. megaterium have management potential against root-knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne incognita in bottle gourd. Results Field laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of bacterial bioagents 1% WP (2 × 10 6 CFU/g), 8 9 CFU/g) on egg hatching juvenile mortality nematode...

The present study is based on the investigation of a soil hyphomyces, Paecilomyces lilacinus, an opportunistic bio-control agent, in controlling root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica on tomato in greenhouse conditions. P. lilacinus, effectively promoted the growth of plants inoculated with M. javanica by suppressing its pathogenesis as root galling by the nematode and egg mass production was ...

sugar beet (beta vulgaris) is one of the hosts for different root-knot nematode species. in this study, firstly the effect of different inoculum levels including 250+250, 500, 500+250, 750, 500+500 and 1000 second stage juveniles of meloidogyne javanica were evaluated on a susceptible variety named jolgeh. the results showed that all inoculum levels were suitable for infection on sugar beet pla...

Meloidogyne incognita can be effectively managed through biological control agents. The present study on the bio-intensive management of M. blackgram with bio-agents, viz. Bacillus marisflavi, altitudinis, subtilis, Trichoderma viride, Verticillium lecanii and Pseudomonas fluorescens as soil application was carried out under net house conditions at Department Nematology, Assam Agricultural Univ...

Biocontrol traits of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), in terms of single and mixed species inoculum, against the root knot nematode Meloidogyne incongita in Impatiens balsamina L., were examined with and without mineral fertilization in a greenhouse pot experiment. At harvest, 60 days after sowing, general plant growth parameters and plant defense response in terms of antioxidant activity an...
