Effect of bioagents for managing root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in mungbean (Vigna radiata)

Experiment was conducted during two consecutive kharif seasons of 2008 and 2009 with bioagents used as seed treatment for management of Meloidogyne incognita infecting mungbean in field. Paecilomyces lilacinus @ 10 g kg¹ seed was most effective in increasing the growth parameter and yield of mungbean crop. However, Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 20 g kg¹ seed was best in reducing nematode population in field.
