SHAHNAZ DAWAR, MARIUM TARIQ AND M.J. ZAKI
Abstract
Application of Bacillus spp., significantly reduced hatching of larvae of Meloidogyne javanica root knot whereas mortality of larvae was significantly increased with the increase in time. Germination of seeds of cow pea and mash bean and growth parameters in terms of shoot length, root length, shoot weight and root weight significantly increased in treated seed and soil with all the species of Bacillus as compared to control. Maximum inhibition of knots was observed in cowpea as compared to mung bean. Of the different species of Bacillus used, B. subtilis showed maximum inhibition of knots.
