The potentials of Bio-arc (a commercial formulation of the Bacillus megaterium) at the rate of 5, 10, 15 and 20 ml and Nemastrol (a commercial formulation of active ingredients) at the rate of 0.25 ml, for induction of systemic resistance to sugar-beet var. Negma infected with M. incognita were conducted in two soil types. Results revealed that all treatments with tested rates were found to have nematicidal activity against nematode infection and improved plant growth parameters of sugar-beet with various levels of success. The dual application of Bio-arc+Nemastrol at the rate of 20 ml +0.25 ml proved to be the best and showed significant improvement in plant growth parameters in terms of shoot length (92.6,127.5%) and total plant fresh weight (91.7, 370.4) of sugar-beet grown either in clayey or sandy soil, respectively. Among all treatments Nemastrol ranked next to oxamyl and perfor.. View More»
