Soil application of Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 2.5 kg/ha showed increased plant growth and reduced root-knot nematode population both in soil and root. Soil application of Trichoderma viride @ 2.5 kg/ha, increased plant growth and reduced nematode population compared to control followed by P. fluorescens.
