Impact of biocontrol bacteria with Rhizophora mucronata plant parts in suppression of Meloidogyne javanica (treub) chitwood on crop plants

摘要

Germination of seeds, shoot length, shoot weight, root length and root weight on okra and mung bean showed promising results when bacterial antagonists viz., Bacillus subtilis, B. thuringiensis, B. cereus and Rhizobium meliloti after multiplication on Rhizophora mucronata plant parts were used at 1% w/w. Complete suppression of root knots was observed on okra and mung bean when R. meliloti and Bacillus subtilis after multiplication on R. mucronata plant parts viz., leaves and stem.
