Abstracts |
A pot culture experiment was conducted to determine the effect of combined inoculation of Rhizobium sp. Co Be7 and phosphobacteria (Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum) on the interaction of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM; Glomus mosseae) and Meloidogyne incognita on black gram cv. Co.5. Inoculation of Rhizobium sp., phosphobacteria or VAM either alone or in combination increased the growth of the plants and reduced the nematode population. Among the treatments, combined inoculation of Rhizobium sp., phosphobacteria on VAM and nematode, increased all the growth parameters, phosphorus content, spore population, mycorrhizal colonization and reduced the gall index and nematode population significantly. Nematode inoculation to mycorrhizal plants reduced the nitrogen and phosphorus content of the plants. But inoculation of either Rhizobium or phosphobacteria or both, increased nitrogen and phosphorus content of black gram.. |
