Abstract:
In the study on the interaction of Meloidogyne incognita and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp ciceri on chickpea, the result indicated that dual inoculation treatments significantly decreased plant growth parameters over the treatment with M. incognita @1000 J2/kg soil and F. oxysporum @ 2% (w/w). The treatment with M. incognita @1000 J2/kg soil + F. oxysporum @ 2% (w/w) after 15 days of inoculation was statistically superior in decreasing the plant growth parameters of chickpea. However, number of galls, egg masses, and final nematode population was found maximum in single inoculation treatment than dual inoculation treatments. The highest number of galls, egg masses, and final nematode population were observed in the treatment with M. incognita @1000 J2/kg soil. The Maximum disease incidence was recorded in the treatment with M. incognita @1000 J2/kg soil and F. oxysporum @ 2% (w/w) after 15 days of inoculation.
