Effect of Some Microbial Fertilizers on Tomato Growth and Root-Knot Nematode (Meloidogyne incognita)

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of some commercial microbial fertilizers on root-knot nematode Meloidoyne incognita and tomato growth. For this purpose, pot experiments were carried out in the study; Microbial fertilizers consisting of Nematofix® (N), Rootsafer® (R), Phosfert® (P) and Endoryza® (E) were evaluated as individual and combinations (double, triple and quadruple). While none of the applications caused any increase for stem height in the plants without nematode, some applications used by some combinations (N+R+P, N+P+E, R+P+E, and N+R+P+E) of microbial fertilizers caused significant changes compared to control (p<0.05). Plant stem dry weight and root fresh weight were positively affected compared to control (p
