Abstract

Study on efficacy of different bio-agents with different doses for the management of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. in Ashwagandha in pots indicated that application of Pseudomonas fluorescens proved to be more effective in improving plant growth characters and reducing root-knot disease and final nematode population. Among the doses tested, higher dose of 5% (w/w) was more effective.
