feasibility of stored pasteuria penetrans endospores isolate p-100 in root powders on mejoidogyne incognita infection to certain plants. [electronic resource

Includes reference.

The feasibility of stored Pasteuria penetrans isolate P-100 with tomato root powders for long-term period (7 years) at room temperature on the development of Meloidogyne incognita on sunflower in comparison with datura was investigated under greenhouse conditions. Results indicated that contradicting data was evident with respect to number of eggmasses and galls on roots of either plant hosts due to the tested storage conditions of endospores. However, the presence of P. penetrans under this tested storage conditions showed better increase in length and fresh weight of shoot for sunflower and datura plants with values of percentage increase of 25.29 & 21.82% and 35.298. 64.1 B%, respectively. Moreover, an improvement of root growth parameters of both host plants was also obtained without any significant differences except that of datura root length (18.6%).
