Combined application of Paecilomyces lilacinus and Carbosulfan for management of Meloidogyne incognita and Rotylenchulus reniformis

The results revealed that the fungus or chemical at optimum dose alone reduced the nematode population of both the species, singly or concomitantly and increased the plant growth. However, integration of these components in various treatments was better in reducing the population of both the nematode species and increased plant growth than when used alone. The best combination of these components with regard to reduction in gall number and population of either of the nematode species and increase in plant growth of infected plants (singly or concomitantly) was 2.0 g P. lilacinus combined with 1.0g a.i carbosulfan.
