EFFECTS OF INOCULUM SEQUENCE OF AM FUNGI ON ROOT - KNOT DISEASE OF MUNG (VIGNA RADIATA L.)

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of inoculum sequence of different AM fungi on the disease severity of Root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) on Vigna radiata (L). In this study two different AM Fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus fasciculatum were inoculated before and after the nematode infection. It is evident from the results obtained from present investigations that prior application of both types of AM fungi helped in decreasing the nematode multiplication as compared to prior nematode inoculation. AM fungi establishes itself vastly before nematode attacks and creates an unfavourable environment for Meloidogyne incognita development.

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT AM FUNGI ON MELOIDOGYNE INCOGNITA (KOFOID AND WHITE) INFECTING VIGNA RADIATA L.

An Experiment was carried out for the management of root - knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) on mungbean (Vigna radiate L. ) with the help of AM fungi. Significant reduction in nematode population and development of mung plant was observed when mung plants were treated with different AM fungi. Four AM fungi were used in the treatment viz. Glomus mosseae, Glomus fasciculatum, Gigaspora gigantea and Gigaspora margarita. These fungi were used in 10gm dose. Remarkable reduction in gall formation and disease severity, increased root, shoot weight were observed in AM treated mung plants. The present investigation indicates that the AM fungi specially Glomus fasciculatum has a great potential against M. incognita.
