Abstract
Due to environmental concerns and increased regulation on use of chemical fumigants, more management, strategies for control of root - knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) are currently being investigated on biological control using microbial antagonists as a potential alternative to chemical nematicides. Among the biological control agents that have been assessed are egg- parasitic fungi, nematode trapping fungi, bacteria and polyphagous predatory nematodes. Microorganisms that can grow in the rhizosphere provide the front line defense for roots against pathogen attach and are ideal for use as biocontrol agents. Fungi and bacteria are two major groups of microbes which are abundant in soil and some of them have showed great potential as bio control agent's nematodes. Hence, the present study has been carried out the effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita infecting tomato, Lycoperiscum esculentum. Isolate I and II inoculated tomato plants showed better growth compared to plants infested with Meloidogyne incognita. Our result also revealed that, there is a significant increase in plant height, shoot weight, root weight, moisture content and decreased gall index.
