Abstract

Effect of Pseudomonas jluorescens, Trichoderma viride and carbofuran 3G independently and in combination was studied for the management of Meloidogyne incognita in okra vaL Co 3 under glasshouse conditions. The independent application of P. fluorescens (2.5 kg/ha) and in combination with carbofuran 3G significantly improved the plant growth. P. fluorescens (1.25 kg/ha) + carbofuran (0.5 kg a.i.lha) treated plant recorded the highest fruit weight/plant (184.48%). While the highest number of colony forming units of P. jluorescens, and T viride was recorded in individual application of the same compared to combined application.
