The different animal manure (cow, chicken, goat, sheep and pig) improved the growth of green onion. However, the chicken and cow manure at 5 to 10 tons/ha significantly reduced the number of galls, egg masses and nematode population in roots and in soil compared to the lower rate of 2 tons/ha. Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) combined with the animal manure increased the number of spores and mycorrhizal infection that resulted in a lower number of galls, egg masses and nematode population in roots and in soil. VAM-chicken manure gave the highest reduction of these parameters that ranged from 69 to 92%. When VAM and the animal manure were applied 2 and 4 weeks before the nematode, the number of VAM spores and percent VAM infection were higher which resulted to 84-89% reduction in galls and egg masses. Likewise, nematode population in roots and in soil was also reduced in these treatments. Top and root weights were higher in plants pre-inoculated with VAM and animal manure
