These are potential bioagents, highly virulent, have broader host range and can bring out quick kill of the target pests. Preliminary studies have shown that EPNa??s are equally pathogenic to plant parasitic nematodes also. The results obtained from series of experiments conducted to find out the effect of EPNa??s on root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) showed that these are effective in suppressing root knot population infecting tomato significantly.
