Among the promising bio-control agents of plant parasitic nematodes, the bacterial parasite-Pasteuria penetrans has been investigated in detail and found to hold potential for the management of Meloidogyne spp. An experiment was carried out underscreen house conditions of Department of Nematology of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, to study the effect of organic amendments (neem cake, mustard cake, castor cake and farmyard mannure) on the life cycle development of P. penetrans on M. javanica infecting tomato. All life cycle stages of bacterium viz., microcolony, thallus, quartets, diads, immature spore and mature spore were observed and nematode viz., parasitic J2, spike tail stage, immature and mature female were observed and compared for all the organic amendments. The result revealed that the life cycle of P. penetrans on root-knot nematode was completed in all the organic amendments but, the life cycle was well synchronised with root-knot nematode when it was integrated with mustard cake.There was slight delay in life cycle of bacterium where castor cake, neem cake and FYM were applied. However, both nematode and bacteriumcompleted their life cycle in all the organic amendments.","PeriodicalId":13358,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of nematology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71212661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
