Abstract:
ABSTRACT
The fungal biocontrol agent Paecilomyces lilacinus and chemical nematicide
fosthiazate were evaluated to asses biocontrol potency of P lilacinus against root knot
nematode Meloidogyne spp. in eggplant. The treatments were biocontrol fungus P.
lilacinus, P. lilacinus + Fosthiazate, Fosthiazate, blank control parameters the effect of chemical nematicide and nematicide biocontrol fungus
combinations the result was statistically similar. So P. lilacinus may be useful either
alone or in combination with fosthiazate to reduce the doses of chemical nematicide
in controlling root knot nematode. Meloidogyne spp with increasing growth
parameters of eggplant. P lilacinus is compatible with Fosthiazate.
