INTERACTION OF GLOMUS FASCICULATUM WITH MELOIDOGYNE INCOGNITA INOCULATED AT DIFFERENT TIMINGS ON BLACKGRAM (VIGNA MUNGO)

Abstract

Inoculation of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) with Glomus fasciculatum 15 and 20 days earlier than inoculation with Meloidogyne incognita controlled the nematode population and also increased biomass production. But when G. fasciculatum was applied rive days earlier than the nematode VA mycorrhizal colonization and spore production were reduced.
