Bioagents viz., Paecilomyces lilacinus and Trichoderma viride alone or in combination with mustard cake and furadan promoted plant growth, reduced number of galls/plant, egg masses/root system and eggs/egg mass. The fungal bioagents along with mustard cake and nematicide showed least nematodes reproduction factor as compared to untreated infested soil.展开更多

One of the restriction enzyme, Rsal could differentiate all the six species/strains from one another. The three restriction enzymes yielded patterns which were of diagnostic value but Rsal appeared to be the best diagnostic marker for differentiating these isolates. A tree constructed based upon the band sharing amongst the isolates, produced trichotomy which placed strains from Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand in one group showing 94% homology, one strain from Bhopal （M.P） formed separate clade along with S. thermophilum with 72% similarity. These isolates, from Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh and Dehradun, showed only 51% similarity with the S. thermophilum by forming separate clade.展开更多
