Effect of organic amendments alone and in combination with Paecilomyces lilacinus on Rotylenchulus reniformis attacking some economically important crop plants
Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection 31 (5), 439-448
Abstract: The efficiency of nematode biocontrol fungus Paecilomyces lilacinus was evaluated in the presence of some organic amendments. The combined effect of the fungus and amendments in suppressing reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) and thus improving different growth parameters of tomato, basil and castor was more than that of either of the treatments alone. The study thus reveals the compatibility of these treatments in efficient control of the test nematode.
