Potato (Solanumtuberosum L.) is an important commercial vegetable crop widely grown inmore than 100 countries. Potato cyst nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis (Wollenweber)and G. pallida (Stone) are basically found in temperate climate and arethe most important quarantine pests since they are causing concern to potato productionand trade throughout the world. Studies were conducted to assess thecompatibility of the egg parasitic fungi Pochonia chlamydosporia withother bio control agents viz., Pseudomonas fluorescens and Trichodermaviride and carbofuran 3G in the management of cyst nematode, Globodera sppin potato. The biocontrol agents were evaluated individually and in differentcombinations under pot culture conditions. Observations on plant growth andnematode population were recorded. Combined application of the egg parasiticfungi, P. chlamydosporia along with P. fluorescens and T.viride and carbofuran resulted in significantly higher plant growth andlower cyst nematode population in soil and root. The tuber weight increased by70.57 per cent and the cyst population in soil decreased by 71.93 per cent.There was also significant reduction in the population of eggs and juveniles.The results revealed that the P. chlamydosporia is compatible with otherbiocontrol agents namely P. fluorescens and T. viride andcarbofuran and can be included in integrated cyst nematode management programs.
