Bioagent's for biological management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infesting Pomegranate

Split application (10 kg at bahar and 10 kg/ha, 90 days after bahar) of nematicide, phorate 10 G and bioagent Trichoderma were effective against Meloidogyne incognita. The treatment of phorate 10 G was effective on 30 and 120 days after bahar in reducing root-knot nematode. The treatment of Phule Trichoderma was found effective in reducing root-knot nematode followed by P chlamydosporium and egg masses. The reduction in root-knot nematode population, root galls and eggs masses increased the yield.
