Effect of Pseudomonas fluorescens in manganese uptake by chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars infected by root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita)

Chickpea (Cicer arientinum L.) is one of the most dominant pulse crops in India, which contributes 38 percent area and 50 production pulses compare to total India. contains protein-2.1%, carbohydrates-61.5%, fat-4.5% more iron, calcium niacin content. The main constrain chickpea due parasitic nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) about 14% global annual yield loss. Pseudomonas fluorescens a bacterial bio-agent that can help nematode suppression plants. This experiment was conducted experience differences, if any, manganese content concerning inoculated with M. incognita combination as bioagent, where different treatments nematode, bacteria, chemicals are used sustaining enhancement disease resistance cultivars RSG 974, GG 5, GNG 2144. variety 2144 found highest treatment, only bacteria (P. fluorescens) inoculated, i.e., 6.44 mg/100g root, followed by 5.63 root 974 was, 4.14 respectively. Application fluorescence combined or alone gradually increased concentration roots plants (4.14 mg/100g), 5(5.63 (6.44 mg/100g) compared health check.
