Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of mustard cake and/or Glomus etunicutum in different combinations of Meloidogyne incognita and/or Fusurium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici infecting tomato cv. Pusa Ruby. Both mustard cake and G. etunicatum were equally effective in reducing the damage caused by the nematode and/or the fungus. When both the management components (mustard cake and G. etunicatum) were applied together in the infested area, the combined efficacy was much more than the single application.
