- Intervention effect Nematode inoculation reduced rice growth and yield by 24–31%.
- Intervention effect Biocontrol agent application increased rice growth and yield in nematode affected plants.
- Intervention effect Pseudomonas putida provided better root-knot disease control than the other biocontrol agents.
- Observation Trichoderma harzianum had highest colonization of nematode life stages.
- Observation Purpureocillium lilacinum had followed by colonization of nematode life stages.
