Bio-efficacy of different strains of Bacillus spp. against Meloidogyne incognita under in vitro

Root-knot nematode caused by Meloidogyne incognita is the major constraints in production of tomato and other solanaceous crops. Nematode diseases have been controlled more recently by means of certain beneficial bacteria that are indigenous to the rhizosphere of plants. Among the PGPR, Bacillus spp. is very important bio-agent that has several benefits compared to other rhizobacteria. Biological control is free from residual and adverse environmental effects.
