Abstract Meloidogyne incognita is a plant pathogen causing root-knot disease and loss of crop yield. The present study
aimed to use Trichoderma harzianum as a biocontrol agent against plant-parasitic nematodes and used press
mud, which is a solid waste by-product of sugarcane, as a biocontrol agent and biofertilizer. Therefore, the combined application of T. harzianum and press mud may enhance nematode control and plant growth. Elemental
analysis of press mud using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) integrated with an Energy Dispersive X-ray
(EDX) analyzer revealed the presence of different elements such as C, O, Mg, Si, P, K, Ca, Cu and Zn.… More >
