Abstracts |
A glass house experiment was conducted for the effectiveness of vermicompositing and rhizotrophic micro-organisms (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Glomus aggregatum and mycorrhiza helper bacterium (MHB) Bacillus coagulans) for the management of Meloidogyne incognita on tomato cv Pusa Ruby. Among the different treatments evaluated, vermicompost and G. aggregatum alone and in combination with B. coagulans recorded the maximum growth, biomass and nutrients of tomato cv Pusa Ruby with decreased root-knot nematode population and root-knot index. But amending the soil with application of vermicomposting+B. coagulans+G. aggregatum in tomato was significantly increased the plant growth, biomass and nutrients of tomato cv Pusa Ruby. Similarly reduction in root-knot nematode population, root-knot index (RKI), nematode reproduction rate (NRR) number of galls and egg masses per plant were recorded in the above treatment. Highest mycorrhizal colonization of 92.5% and minimum nematode population of 145.0/250 cc soil was observed in the same treatment. It can be concluded that application of vermicompost+G. aggregatum+B. coagulans increased plant growth characters and reduced RKI, NRR, number of galls and egg masses on tomato cv Pusa Ruby. |
