Abstracts |
A field study was conducted to understand the influence of bioagents on the nutritional status of tomato cv. Pusa Ruby infested with root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. Two separate field trials were conducted. In Trial-I, treatments viz., Neemark 0.03 EC 2% solution @ 1.25 lit./m2, Carbofuran 3G @ 0.3 g a.i./m2 and Pasteuria penetrans @ 1x108 spores/g of soil and in Trial-II, treatments viz., Glomus fasciculatum (@ 50, 100 and 200 spores/g of soil) and Carbofuran 3G (0.3 g a.i./m2). P. penetrans treated plants recorded higher N, P and K concentration in plants (3.21, 0.28 and 3.21 per cent, respectively) and fruits (2.53, 0.78 and 3.06 per cent, respectively) compared to Neemark 0.03 EC and Carbofuran 3G in Trial-I. G. fasciculatum @ 200 spores/g of soil recorded increased N, P and K concentration in plants (3.98, 0.41 and 4.56 per cent, respectively) and fruits (3.11, 0.95 and 3.59 per cent, respectively) in Trial-II.
