Documentation of bio-efficacy of DAPG producing Pseudomonas fluorescens1% A.S. on Meloidogyene incognita and Ralstonia solanacearum infecting tomato in different agro-climatic regions

Bio-efficacy of Pseudomonas fluorescens-1% A.S. was evoluated at three agro-climatic regions of India against Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitw and Ralstonia solanacearum infecting tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Through these field trials we intend to document bio-efficacy data of this potential bio-pesticide in the management of disease complex of Tomato in Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru, C. S. Azad University of Agriculture & Technology (CSAUA&T), Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh and Jawaharlal Nehru KrishiVishwavidyalaya (JNKVV), Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Data indicated that the seed treatment @ 20 ml of P. fluorescens/kg and application of 5 tons of FYM enriched with 5 lit P. fluorescens/ha proved significantly effective in management of disease complex caused by Meloidogyne incognita and R. solanacearum infecting Tomato. This bio-pesticide can lead to the sustainable production of tomato with the significant increase in the yield of tomato.
