Abstract

Mineral contents of root and shoot, affected by inoculation of both the pathogens, upset the nutrient balance. In case of dual inoculations, the treatments showing synergistic effect (N+F and N+f10) exhibited more accumulation of nutrients in roots than in shoots, suggesting poor uptake and translocation. Among the treatments, although treatments N alone and F alone exhibited reduced chlorophyll content. Significantly least content was recorded in plants of N+F (simultaneously inoculation) and N+f10 (nematode applied 10 days prior to fungus) treatments, both showing synergistic effect on the host.
