Biological Control Of Root-knot Nematode Meloidogyne Incognita Infesting Eggplant By The Nematode-trapping Fungus Dactylaria Brochopaga And The Nematode Egg Parasitic Fungus Verticilium Chlamydosporium Under Field Conditions.

Abstract Microbial control of root-knot nematode by using the nematode-trapping fungus Dactylaria brochopaga & Verticilium chlamydosporium as a combined with yeast, molasses and vermiculate is reported under field condition study. The results revealed that the highest percentage reduction in number of nematode larvae per 1kg soil was achieved when applying the fungi D. brochopaga & V. chlamydosporium together combined with yeast, molasses and vermiculate. Also the highest percentage reduction in number of root-galls per plant (93.1 %) was achieved by using the fungi D. brochopaga & V. chlamydosporium together combined with yeast, molasses and vermiculate. The data revealed that the weight of fruits per plant were significantly (P?0.05 and/or P? 0.01) increased in all nematode-trapping fungus D. brochopaga treatments compared to the untreated check treatment. Key words: Microbial control, Dactylaria brochopaga, Verticilium chlamydosporium, Meloidogyne incognita. Yeast, Molasses, Vermiculite, Eggplant.
