Abstract

Inoculation of Meloidogyne incognita 7 days prior and Pseudomonas solanacearum at planting caused maximum wilt (75 per cent) followed by simultaneous inoculations of both the pathogens (45 per cent) at 60 days of observation. Least wilt percentage (8.3) was noticed in root-knot nematode resistant tomato variety, Ronita. No wilt was noticed in plants inoculated with nematode alone and control but nematode inoculated plants showed very poor growth and chlorotic appearance.
