Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Mortality of Meloidogyne incognita was higher with combined entomopathogenic nematodes and trapping fungi than with either alone.
- Intervention effect The highest mortality of M. incognita larvae, root galls and egg-masses in the tomato field occurred with EPNs plus D. brochopaga applied several times.
- Intervention effect The highest mortality of M. incognita larvae, root galls and egg-masses in the tomato field occurred with EPNs plus A. comcaides applied several times.
- Intervention effect Tomato yield was highest in treatments combining EPNs with D. brochopaga or A. comcaides compared with the separate treatments and control.
- Recommendation The authors recommend farmers use a combination of EPNs and trapping fungi to increase mortality of M. incognita in tomato fields.
