MANAGEMENT OF THE CITRUS NEMATODE, TYLENCHULUS SEMIPENETRANS, BY INTEGRATION OF TRICHODERMA HARZIANUM WITH OIL CAKES

Abstract

Trichoderma harzianum in combination with neem, karanj and castor oil cakes was effective in increasing the growth of acid lime seedlings and reducing the population of Tylenchulus semipenetrans both in soil roots. The parasitization of citrus nematode females with T. harzianum increased in the presence of the oil cakes.
