- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal and/or T. harzianum inoculation significantly reduced nematode penetration rates and the number of juveniles in tomato.
- Intervention effect Mycorrhizal and/or T. harzianum inoculation significantly reduced egg mass and galls in tomato.
- Intervention effect Single mycorrhizal inoculation gave the lowest number of nematode juveniles, at 45%, in tomato.
- Intervention effect Combined inoculation with T. harzianum gave the lowest number of nematode juveniles, at 55%, in tomato.
