Evaluation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and entomopathogenic nematode cruisers interaction on the reproduction and development of root knot nematode, M. incognita on tomato

Collection and identification of native isolates of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.
Selection of EPN isolates based on cruising ability and study the interactive development of AM fungi in presence of EPN.
Study the variation in development and progeny production of root knot nematode in the presence of EPN and AM fungi on tomato.
Biochemical changes in root-knot nematode (RKN) infected plants in the presence of AM fungi and EPN.
Study the effect of EPN alone and together with AM fungi and RKN on soil nutrient profile.
Development of integrated disease management approach involving AM fungi and EPN for the control of root knot disease of tomato
