Abstract:
Potential biocontrol agents evaluated namely, Verticillium lecanii, Nomureae reliye,
Metarrhizium anisopliae, Bacillus subtilis (PCN 2011 – 005) and B. subtilis (ST 2011 – 001) were
screened against fungal plant pathogens: Pestalotia longisetula.,Fusarium oxysporum fs. pisi;
bacterial pathogens, Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, Pectobacterium carotovorum, and
nematode, Meloidogyne incognita.
Nomureae rileyi has the widest inhibition against the fungal pathogens Pestalotia
longisetula., Fusarium oxysporum fs. pisi and B. subtilis (ST 2011 – 001) for bacterial pathogens,
Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, Pectobacterium carotovorum and
Verticillium lecanii are effective in suppressing eggmass of Meloidogyne inognita.
