INTERACTION BETWEEN Pythium Aphanidermatum and Meloidogyne Incognita IN CHILLI AND BRINJAL

Abstract

The interaction effect of Pythium aphanidermatum (Edson) Fitz. and Meloidogyne incognita (Chitwood. 1949) was tested in field. The concomitant inoculation of P.aphanidermatum and M.incognita caused maximum pre-and post-emergence damping- off in both chilli ev.Co2 and brinjal cv.Co2. The dry shoot and root weight of the plants infected with Pythium and Meloidogyne were found to be reduced significantly.

Keywords: Interaction, Pythium-Meloidogyne complex.
