Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: A study was conducted under pot conditions to testify the efficacy of neem seedpowder; neem leaf powder and 2 fungal isolates, Trichoderma harzianum and T. glaucumto estimate pathogenicity of M. incognita infesting Solanum melongena. The freshlyhatched second stage juveniles (J2) inoculated @ 2000J2/pot and neem seed powder,neem leaves powder and fungal isolates T. harzianum and T. glaucum, were applied @0.2%. The observations of the study revealed that the infested brinjal plants showedmaximum root gall formation and decrease in root and shoot length as well astheir fresh and dry weight with the increase in levels of infestations as comparedto control. It was also observed that the brinjal plants amended with neem seedpowder separately and with a combination of neem seed powder and T. harzianumshowed better growth and significant reduction in gall formation (54.19% & 49.36%respectively) over untreated inoculated plants.
