Abstract

Trichoderma harzianum, a known egg parasite of root-knot nematode was tested with or without neem cake against Meloidogyne incognita on tomato. The fungus was highly effective against M. incognita when egg masses were inoculated 15 days prior to transplanting and fungus at transplanting time in absence or presence of neem cake. This treatment when given in neem cake amended pots resulted into better plant status than when given in the pots without neem cake.
