e0“In the first year, sett treatment experiments demonstrated that the application of the fungal antagonist P.lilacinum at 2.5 kg/ha reduced nematode populations by 74.3% compared to the untreated control. This treatment also improved germination (84.26%), tillers count (166.62%), commercial cane sugar percentage (12.80%), cane yield (120.50%) and sugar yield (16.82%).”
