Various methods of Pasteuriapenetrans application viz. nursery, spot and dip were evaluated. There was an increase in the plant growth with corresponding reduction in galls and nematode population in all the treatments receiving P. penetrans. Among the various methods of P. penetrans application, spot application was observed to be the best followed by application in the nursery bed in respect of increase in plant growth parameters and reduction in nematode multiplication. The root dip treatment was least effective, even though better than control.
