Nursery application of Pseudomonas fluorescens for the control of Meloidogyne incognita on tomato and brinjal

Abstract

Experiments were conducted in nursery plots to assess the efficacy of Pseudomonas /luorescens for the management of MelOldogyne incognita infesting tomato and brinjal. Soil application of P. /luorescens at the rate of 10 or 20 g/m2 per plot at planting significantly increased seedling growth and reduced M. incognita infestation on both crop plants.
