Abstracts |
A pot experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions to study the management of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) and Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris) infesting chickpea (cv. H-108) using ecofriendly methods. The treatments comprised: Glomus fasciculatum; Trichoderma viride; Paecilomyces lilacinus; neem oilseed cake; G. fasciculatum + T. viride; G. fasciculatum + P. lilacinus; G. fasciculatum + neem oilseed cake; G. fasciculatum + T. viride + P. lilacinus; and G. fasciculatum + T. viride + P. lilacinus + neem oilseed cake. The highest shoot length (44.9 cm), shoot weight (39.2 g), root length (25.2 cm), root weight (16.8 g), chlorophyll content (28.2 mg/g), number of bacterial nodules (69), number of pods per plant (56), 100-seed weight (31.8), percentage colonization of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizas (79.6) and chlamydospore population of G. fasciculatum per 100 g of soil (528.7) was obtained with G. fasciculatum + T. viride + P. lilacinus + neem oilseed cake. Similarly, the number of galls per plant, egg mass per plant, nematode soil population and wilt percentage was lowest with G. fasciculatum + T. viride + P. lilacinus + neem oilseed cake. |
