Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted to study efficacy of Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Paecilomyces lilacinus, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pochonia chlamydosporia on root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infecting bell pepper, Capsicum annuum. Among them maximum plant height, more number of leaves, better root length, shoot weight, root weight and maximum fruit yield were observed in T. viride followed by P. fluorescens. The maximum reduction of galls were noticed in T. viride as compared to other treatments. The least number of egg masses and eggs per egg mass were recorded in T. viride followed by P. fluorescens.
