Effect of various levels of organic carbon on the development of Pasteuria penetrans on Meloidogyne incognita

The investigation on effect of various organic carbon levels on development of Pasteuria penetrans on Meloidogyne incognita in brinjal crop showed a significant reductionin nematode reproduction parameters at the increasing levels of organic carbon with bacterium + nematode in comparison to the treatment of nematode alone. The number of bacterial spores/female get reduced on increasing the level of organic carbon in the soil. The plant growth parameters showed an increasing trend at higher does of organic carbon in soil.
