NEMATICIDAL EFFICACY OF SOIL FUNGAL ISOLATES AGAINST THE ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE (MELOIDOGYNE INCOGNITA) OF TOMATO
ABSTRACT The root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is one of the plant parasitic nematodes that causes serious economic damage on tomato plant. Due to loss of effectiveness and environmental hazard of chemical nematicide, the search for new agents of control has become paramount. Therefore, nematicidal efficacy of soil fungal isolates on second stage juvenile of Meloidogyne incognita was carried out. Soil samples for the isolation of fungi and nematode were collected ...
