Abstract
Biocontrol of wilt disease complex of pea caused by the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi was studied on pea (Pisum sativum L.) using plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens and root nodule bacterium Rhizobium sp. Inoculation of M. incognita and F.oxysporum alone caused significant reductions in plant growth over un-inoculated control. Reduction in plant growth caused by M. incognita was statistically equal to that caused by F. oxysporum. Inoculation of M. incognita plus F. oxysporum together caused a greater reduction in plant growth than the sum of damage caused by these pathogens singly. Inoculation of P. fluorescens and Rhizobium sp. individually or both together increased plant growth in pathogen inoculated and un-inoculated plants. Inoculation of P. fluorescens to pathogen-inoculated plants caused a greater increase in plant growth than caused by Rhizobium sp. Application of Rhizobium plus P. fluorescens caused a greater increase in plant growth than caused by each of them singly. Inoculation of P.fluorescens caused higher reduction in galling and nematode multiplication than caused by Rhizobium sp. Use of Rhizobium plus P. fluorescens caused higher reduction in galling and nematode multiplication than their individual inoculation. Plants inoculated with both pathogens plus Rhizobium showed less nodulation than plants inoculated with single pathogen plus Rhizobium. Inoculation of Rhizobium plus P. fluorescens resulted in higher root-nodulation than inoculated only with Rhizobium. Wilting indices were 4 and 5, respectively, when plants were inoculated with F. oxysporum and F. oxysporum plus M. incognita. Wilting indices were reduced maximum to 1 and 2, respectively, when plants inoculated with F.oxysporum and plants with both pathogens were treated with P. fluorescens plus Rhizobium.
