Abstract:
Efficacy of Pasteuria penetrans with two soil fungi viz., Paecilomyces lilacinus, Talaromyces flavus and a bacterium Bacilus subtilis on the biological control of root-knot nematode on okra was tested in pots. Results revealed that application of biological control organisms when used individually or in combination with P. penetrans enhanced plant growth characteristics such as length and weight of okra shoots and significantly reduced root-knot indices on okra plants
