Abstract:This study investigated the effectiveness of two plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) formulations, Bio Arc® 6% WP (BA, Bacillus megaterium) and BECTO Grow Roots® (BGR; Serratia marcescens, Pseudomonas putida, and P. fluorescens). Additionally, it focused on naturally infested soil that had undergone metam potassium fumigation to reduce root-knot nematode (RKN), specifically Meloidogyne incognita. It aimed to monitor eggplant response to soil biodiversity changes for 60 days of the experiment under gree… Show more
