Sphingomonas paucimobilisfrom cotton and cucumber plants and tested against
cucumber root knot nematode. Seed bacterization with endophytic bacteria com-
pletely protected cucumber seedlings fromM. incognatainfection (Hallmann et al.
1995 ).
Culturefiltrate ofP.fluorescensstrains CHA0 or CHA0/PME3424 were tested
against tomato root knot nematode. The results revealed that the inoculum levels of
107 ,10^8 ,10^9 cfu/g showed greater disease control under glasshouse conditions
(Siddiqui and Shaukat 2003 ). An endophytic bacteriumB. subtilisstrains EPb5, 22,
31 and EPC 16 were effective against root knot nematode, burrowing nematode,
root lesion nematode infection in banana (Jonathan and Umamaheswari 2006 ).
Seed bacterization with culturefiltrates of endophytic bacteria EB19, EB18, EB16
and EB3 significantly reduced the number of adult females. In another treatment,
plants treated with culture filtrates ofB. subtilis, B. cereus andArthrobotrys
cladodesreduced the soil population ofM. incognita(Vetrivelkalai et al. 2009 ).
