Overview

Greenhouse trials show bacillus spp as promising biocontrol agents against Meloidogyne incognita, highlighting their potential advantages over traditional nematicides.

Key Points

  • Bacillus spp. strains significantly reduced the nematode reproduction factor in infected tomato plants.
  • Strains 307 and GB24 exhibited the highest reduction rates of 61.39% and 57.24%, pointing to their potential efficacy.
  • Analysis revealed that enzymes like proteases and chitinases produced by bacillus spp. contribute to nematode suppression.
  • Promising strains were identified as part of the Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus cereus groups, indicating a need for further genomic studies.
