Exposure of root-knot nematode,
Meloidogyne incognita to various concentrations (5–100%) of culture filtrate of
Paenibacillus polymyxa GBR-1 under
in vitro conditions significantly reduced egg hatch and caused substantial mortality of its juveniles. The increase in the exposure durations of juveniles to culture filtrate and its concentrations increased the mortality rate. Similarly, higher concentrations increased its inhibitory effect on egg hatch. In higher concentrations (25–100%) egg hatch was inhibited by 84–91% after 2 days of exposures as compared to control in sterile distilled water. Application of various concentrations of culture filtrate extract or bacterial suspension of
P. polymyxa GBR-1 into potting soil infested with 2000 J2 of
M. incognita, reduced the root galling and nematode populations and increased tomato plant growth and root-mass production compared with untreated control (
P
⩽
0.05). The beneficial effect of
P. polymyxa GBR-1 into potted soil increased exponentially with the increase in dose concentrations. Root gall index was reduced from 4.8 to 1.4 and 1.8 when potting soil was treated with 10% concentrations of culture filtrate extract and bacterial suspension, respectively, compared with untreated control. Application of bacterial suspension of
P. polymyxa GBR-1 into potted soil at 3 day pre-inoculation of nematode was the most effective followed by simultaneously and at 2 days post-inoculation; as root galling was reduced by 62.5%, 58.3% and 50.0%, respectively, compared with untreated control.
