Management of root-knot nematodes by using bio-pesticides

The impact of biopesticides (T.harzianum, Azadirachta indica, Biofertilizer; Humiphos) against root knot nematodes and its outcome on the growth of vegetables (Tomato, Lycopersicum esculentum., Brinjal, Solanum melongena and Turnip, Brassica rapa). Findings illustrated that T.harzianum showed best results on all vegetables as compared to other treatments. As it showed resistance against root knot nematodes and also most effective for the growth of vegetables than Azadirachta indica and biofertilizers (Humiphos) and no gall formation was observed under any concentration of Trichoderma harzianum, growth difference was also distinguished clearly. This book is useful for nematologists, crop growers as well as plant pathologists.
