To demonstrate the effectiveness of indigenous endophytic isolate of Bacillus weihenstephanensis against root knot nematode, an attempt was made to fix minimum inhibitory concentration to inhibit egg hatching and to cause mortality of J2 of Meloidogyne incognita. The minimum inhibitory concentration of ethyl acetate extract of crude antibiotics of B. weihenstephanensis was fixed as 10 and 1 mg/ml to inhibit egg hatching and to cause mortality of J2 of M.incognita respectively and it was 0.01 and 0.1 mg/ml in respect of inhibitory concentration 50.
