Verbatim
e0“A net house study was conducted to test the bio-efficacy of Trichoderma harzianum and T. virens against rice root knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola on rice”
e1“either T. harzianum or T. virens was applied one week prior to nematode inoculation at 4 and 8 g dose/kg soil”
e2“There was significant improvement in plant growth characters and suppression in number of galls and number of M. graminicola larvae penetrated/plant as well as final nematode population in soil compared to only nematode inoculated check”

- Intervention effect Pre-inoculation application of Trichoderma suppressed galls, M. graminicola larvae penetration and final nematode population in rice.
- Intervention effect Post-inoculation application of Trichoderma significantly improved rice plant growth.
- Intervention effect Post-inoculation application of Trichoderma significantly reduced galls and larval penetration in rice.
- Intervention effect Applying Trichoderma fungi before nematode inoculation was more effective than the other application method in rice.
