Abstract

Secondary microbial invasion of tomato plants inoculated with 6,000 Meloidogyne incognita larvae caused 75 and 48% weight reduction of foliage and roots, respectively. Under aseptic conditions the same number of larvae caused only 37% reduction of foliage and increased root weight by 50%. Key Words: Meloidogyne incognita, Root-knot, Soil microflora, Tomato, Secondary invaders.
