Effects of dual inoculation of mycorrhiza and endophytic, rhizospheric or parasitic bacteria on the root-knot nematode disease of tomato
2014
The effects of mycorrhisation and inoculation with soil bacteria on the disease caused by Meloidogyne incognita on tomato were studied in pots under greenhouse conditions. Efficacy in promoting plant growth and reducing disease severity and final nematode densities were evaluated for two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Funneliformis mosseae and Rhizophagus irregularis), three soil bacteria with different living strategies (the endophyte Bacillus megaterium , a rhizospheric Pseudomonas putida and the hyperparasite of nematodes Pasteuria penetrans) and combinations of the fungi and bacteria. In M. incognita- infested plants, F. mosseae increased tomato growth more than R. irregularis , and plants inoculated with B. megaterium presented higher shoot fresh weight than with P. putida or P. penetrans , but dual inoculation did not improve tomato growth more than single inoculations. Disease severity and final nematode densities were reduced by F. mosseae compared to non-mycorrhizal plants. B. megaterium and P. penetrans reduced both the root galling and the final nematode densities compared to treatments without bacteria. P. penetrans reduced final nematode densities more than B. megaterium or P. putida . Dual inoculation of AMF and P. penetrans showed the highest efficacy in reducing the final nematode densities in tomato.
