The addition of Paecilomyces lilacinus and Trichoderma harzianum as nematophagous fungi separately along with organic substrate to the infested soil, sufficiently retarded the pathogenic activity of Meloidogyne incognita. Addition of Paecilomyces lilacinus and Trichoderma harzianum in combination amended with organic substrate gave the effective control of root-knot nematodes population thus reduced root-knot disease and increased plant vigour.
