Abstract
Keeping in view the staid health and ecological apprehensions coupled with the use of pesticides, entomopathogenic nematodes have the potential to supersede pesticides for the management of various pests. Brinjal plants are the most seriously affected by Meloidogyne incognita. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the persistence effectiveness of bacterial cell suspensions (Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp.) and their culture filtrates in soil up to 7, 14 and 21 days and their response against M. incognita as a source of biological control for nematode management. In a life cycle study, Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp., isolated from Steinernema asiaticum and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, were proved more effective in influencing the life cycle of RKNs. It was found that all the treatments of bacterial cell suspensions and their culture filtrates at all persistent times proved effective in reducing the number of females and egg masses as compared to control. It delayed penetration of nematode juveniles (J2) into host roots. It was concluded that persistence effectiveness of bacteria and their metabolites decreased in soil with time.
