Current Utility of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles in Suppression of Tomato Root-Knot Nematode

Effective biosafe management strategies are used to decrease world crop damage produced by plant-parasitic nematodes. This study evaluated the efficiency of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (n-HAP) and mycorrhizal fungi control Meloidogyne incognita infecting tomato plants. Application n-HAP significantly increased juveniles’ mortality (195.67%) egg hatching inhibition percentage (80.71%) compared untreated control, in vitro. Mycorrhizal and/or treatments plant growth parameters (root shoot length, dry weight, leaf area) reduced negative consequence nematode infection. may be due indirect mechanisms through increasing nutrient uptake internal resistance against In dual-treated plants, phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium content recorded highest value nematode-infected Whereas dual inoculation mineral contents plants with this induce strength cell wall epidermal layer cortex consequently increase Our results revealed that application resistance-stimulants enhanced nematode’s criteria. Consequently, infection was induced.
