Abstract

Field trials were carried out during kharif seasons of 2022--2023 and 2023--2024 to know the efficacy of different bio-agents (Neem cake, Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus megaterium, B. amyloliquefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens) against southern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita in cucumber. It was revealed that, best treatment was observed in combined application of neem cake @ 1 t/ha + seed treatment with P. putida @ 10 g/kg of seed followed by neem cake @ 1 t/ha + seed treatment with B. amyloliquefaciens @ 10 g/kg of seed significantly increased the yield and reduced the galls, egg masses as well as final nematode population in soil as compared to untreated control. However, application of Carbofuran @ 33 kg/ha (chemical check) was found to be very effective in reducing the galls, egg masses and soil nematode population.
