Vigna radiata

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.
