Synergistic effect of a fungus Fusarium semitectum Berk & Rev. and a nematode Tylenchulus semipenetrans Cobb. was determined individually and concomitantly on citrus. Maximum reduction in the plant growth parameters as number of leaves (61.33%), root length (39.7%), shoot length (31.74%), fresh shoot weight (35.2%), fresh root weight (42.21%), stem diameter (47.78%) and number of feeder roots (50.09%) were observed in the plants having combined treatment of F. semitectum and T. semipenetrans. Nematode reproduction parameters as number of females/g roots (60.22%) and number of juveniles (J2)/g roots (59.97%) and number of J2/100 ml soil (61.34%) were maximum in the individual treatment of T. semipenetrans. Existence of synergistic relationship between F. semitectum and T. semipenetrans in citrus decline was confirmed.
