Abstract Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) is a severe soil borne plant pathogen and causes significant losses in cucumber yield. This study intended to study isolation and identification of the causal organism nematode and rhizobacteri from rhizaosphere soil of infested cucumber with nematode. As well as, study effect of different rhizbacterial isolates on mortality of M. inconita juveniles (J2) and growth parameter of cucumber seedlings, In vitro . In addition, study effect of rhizobacterial isolates and soil amendment on population of M. incognita nematode in rhizosphere soil and root-tissue of cucumber plants and severity of rootgall, under greenhouse and field experiments. Also, study effect of rhizbcterial isolate and soil amendment on growth parameter and the yield of cucumber plants, under field experiment. Results obtained could be summarized as follow. 1- Samples of rhizophere soil and infected cucumber plants with rootknot nematode were collected from Qualubia and Ismailia governorates for isolation and identification of rhizobacteria and nematode as a bio-agents organism of root-knot. 2- Collected egg-masses and adult females of nematode were collected and were identified based on morphological characteristics of the female perineal patterns. Obtained nematode was identified Meloidogyne incognita nematode. 3- Collected rhizobacterial isolates were identifed according to morphological and biochemical characteristic. This identification was confirmed with Biolog system. These isolates were identifed as: a. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, b. Rhizobium rhizogenes c. Serratia maracscens. 53 SUMMARY Bedour, H. Ahmed (2017), M.Sc., Fac. Agric., Ain Shams Univ. 4- Identified rhizobacterial isolates were tested against M. incognita juveniles (J2) mortality and the growth parameter of cucumber seedling, In vitro. 5- Tested rhizobcaterial isolates significantly increased the mortality of juveniles (J2) nematode compared with the control treatment .The efficacy of rhizobzcterial isolates were gradually corresponding with their quantity 106,107 and 108 CFU/ml against juveniles (J2) nematode. Isolates of B. amyloliquefaciens and R. rhizogenes shown the greatest activity against juveniles (J2) nemalode than isolate of S. maracscens, In vitro. 6- Also, In vitro, percentage of seed germination and vigor growth index of cucumber seedlings were increased with application of rhizobacterial isolates compared with the control treatment. Efficacy of rhizobacterial isolates were increased with increasing their quantity (106,107 and 108 cell/ml). These isolates were the most effective at 108 cell/ml compared with other bacterial quantity. There is no difference significant between isolates of rhizobacterial on seed germination and vigor growth index of cucumber seedlings. 7- In greenhouse experiment, rhizobacterial isolates (B. anyloliquefaciens, R. rhizogenes and S. maracsens) were applied at 108 cell / ml as soil drench at the same time sowing cucumber seedling. Also, dry ground leaves of cabbage, eucalypts and garlic were applied at the rate of 1, 2 and 3g/kg soil as soil treatment 30 days before sowing cucumber seedlings. 8- Rhizobacterial isolates and soil amendments were studied on population of nematode (M. incognita) in rhizosphere soil reproduction factors and root tissue developmental stages, females, egg-masses and egg/egg-masses of cucumber plants and severity of root- gall nematode. 9- Population of nematode in rhizosphere soil and root tissue of cucumber plant and severity of rat-gall nematode were reduced with application of rhizobacterial isolates and soil amendments 54 SUMMARY Bedour, H. Ahmed (2017), M.Sc., Fac. Agric., Ain Shams Univ. compared with the control treatment. Population of M. incornita was significantly decreased after 45 days from planting cucumber seedlings. Also, the population was slowely increased with increasing the time after the treatment. 10- Application of soil amendments were more active than rhizobacterial isolates against population of nematode in rhizosphere soil and root-tissue of cucumber plants and severity of root-gall nematode. 11- Isolates of B. amyloliquefaciens and R. rhizogenes were the most active against population of the nematode in rhizosphere soil and root-tissue cucumber plants and severity of root-gall nematode compared with the control treatment, but S. maracsceus isolate was moderately effective. 12- Dry ground leaves of garlic was the most effective against population of the nematode in rhizosphere soil and root-tissue of cucumber plants and severity of root-gall nematode, but dry ground of cabbage was moderately effective and dry ground leaves of eucalyptus was less effective compared with the control treatment. 13- Dry ground leaves of garlic as soil amendment and B. amyloliquefaciens isolate as rhizobacteria were the most effective on population nematode and severity of root-gall nematode compared with other treatments, but dry ground leaves of cabbage and 14- In field experiments, rhizobacterial isolates (R. rhizogenes, B. amyloliquefaciens and S. marascens) were applied at the rate of 108 cell/ml (100 ml/plant) as soil treatment, but soil amendments (dry ground leaves of cabbage, eucalyptus and garlic) were applied at the of 3g/palnt as soil treatment. These experiments carried out at Gezerat El-Dahab region, Giza, where natural heavily infested with M. incognita nematode. 15- Application of rhizobacterial isolates and soil amendments were studied on population of M. incognita nematode in rhizosphere soil 55 SUMMARY Bedour, H. Ahmed (2017), M.Sc., Fac. Agric., Ain Shams Univ. and in root-tissue of cucumber plants, severity of root-gall nematode, growth parameter and the yield of cucumber plants. 16- Population of M. incognita in soil and root tissue of cucumber plants and severity of root-gall was reduced, but growth parameter and yield of cucumber plants were increased with application of rhizobacterial isolates and soil amendments as soil treatment compared with the control treatment. Soil amendments were more effective than rhizoacterial isolates. 17- Population of M. incognita was significantly reduced after 45 days from treatment with rhizoacter isolates and soil amendments, but population was slowly increased with increasing the time after treatment with rhizobacterial isolates and soil amendments. 18- B. amyloliquefaciens and R. rhizogenes isolates as rhizobaterial were the most effective against population of M. incognita nematode in rhizosphere and root-tissue of cucumber plants, severity of rot-gall nematode, growth parameter and yield of cucumber plant, but isolate of S. maracscens was moderately effective compared with the control treatment. 19- Dry ground leaves of garlic as soil amendment was the most effective against population of M. incognita nematode in rhizosphere soil and root-tissue of cucumber plants, severity of rootgall nematode, growth parameter and yield of cucumber plants. But, dry ground leaves of cabbage was moderately effective and dry ground leaves of eucalyptus was less effective compared with the control treatment. 20- Application of B. amyloliquefaciens isolate as rhizobacteria and dry ground leaves of garlic as soil treatment were the most effective, but R. rhizogenes isolates and dry ground leaves of cabbage were moderately effective and S. mairucscens isolate and dry ground leaves of eucalyptus were less effective against population of nematode, severity of root-gall nematode, growth parameter and yield of cucumber plants |
