M. Shanmuga Priya, Sanoj Kumar

Abstract

An experiment was conducted under glass house conditions to establish the optimum dose of the fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus against Meloidogyne incognita in tomato. The fungal suspension was inoculated a 1x 106, 2x 106, 3x 106, 4x 106, 5x 106, 6x 106, 7x 106 and 8x 106 spores per 3 kg soil. Four ml of fungal suspension (8x 106 spores) of P. lilacinus per 3 kg soil was found to be the optimum dose for effective reduction of M. incognita population in soil, egg masses and number of galls and increased the plant growth parameters.
