- Intervention effect Bacillus species in pairs were more effective against M. incognita.
- Intervention effect Bacillus sp. at 40 ml significantly reduced second-stage juveniles in soil and galls and egg masses in roots.
- Intervention effect Increasing the applied Bacillus dose increased its nematicidal activity.
- Intervention effect B. subtilis applied three times significantly reduced second-stage juveniles in soil and in roots and galls in roots.
- Intervention effect B. pumilus applied three times significantly reduced egg masses in eggplant roots.
- Intervention effect All Bacillus spp. treatments highly increased the tested growth parameters of eggplant compared with the controls.
- Intervention effect Biocontrol agents used more than once or in combination are more effective at controlling nematode parameters in eggplant under greenhouse conditions than those used only once.
