Interaction of Meloidogyne Incognita and Ralstonia Solamacearum on Brinjal (solanum Melongena L.)

The combined pathogenic effects of Meloidogyne incognita and Ralstonia solanacearum on brinjal were greater than independent effects of either. M. incognita, 15 days prior to the inoculation of R. solanacearum led to maximum wilt incidence (100%) followed by combined inoculation of both the pathogens simultaneously (75%). Low wilt incidence was noticed in plants inoculated with bacterium alone (50%).
