Abstract
An experiment was conducted to study the effects of interaction between Meloidogyne incognita and Fusarium solani on plant length, fresh and dry weights, number of pods, chlorophyll, carotenoid, nitrogen and phosphorus contents and nitrate reductase activity in lentil plants. The results reveal a maximum damage occurring in all the plant growth, biochemical and nutrient parameters, in plants inoculated with M. incognita 10 days prior to F. solani (Mi → Fs). This was followed by simultaneous (Mi + Fs) inoculations, fungus inoculation 10 days prior to nematode (Fs → Mi), M. incognita alone and F. solani alone treatments. Nematode reproduction factor and root galling were highest in individual inoculation of M. incognita, while root rotting percentage was highest when nematode was inoculated 10 days prior to fungus followed by simultaneous inoculation with both nematode and fungus.
