Opis

The book contains the details regarding research project "Control of Meloidogyne incognita with Trichoderma harzianum and Azadirachta indica in tomato". The project was designed to manage the most destructive pathogen (Root-knot nematodes) which are considered as hidden enemies of almost all vegetable crops. As the chemicals have health hazards, they contaminate ground water and are dangerous for soil microbiota, to explore alternative environment friendly management practices is of great importance. The book reveals that the combine effect of T. harzianum and A. indica can enhance protection against root knot disease and improve the consistency of biological control. Therefore, it is crucial to discover the interactions of different biocontrol agents to understand and predict the performance of mixtures of particular biocontrol agents.
