Synergistic Effects of Paecilomyces sp. and Padina boergesenii on Sweet Pepper Growth Under Stress of the Root-knot Nematode, Meloidogyne javanica

Key Points

• Sweet pepper growth significantly improves with the combination of Paecilomyces sp. and Padina boergesenii under nematode stress.
• The study demonstrates a notable increase in plant height and yield compared to untreated controls.
• Observational analysis across various growth conditions highlights the biocontrol potential of these agents against Meloidogyne javanica.
• The findings support the use of natural interventions, indicating possible agricultural applications for managing nematode-induced stress.
