Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the combined application of biochars and the nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia (Goddard) Zare and Gams on growth of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cv. ‘Elbita’ and their protection against Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood. The biochars were produced from: rice husk (Oryza sativa L.), branches of leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit.) and marabou (Dichrostachys cinerea Wight et Am.), mango seeds (Mangifera indica L.), and coconut fiber (Cocos nucifera L.), using Kon-Tiki technology. The biochars and P. chlamydosporia strain IMI SD 187 (dose of 5x103 chlamydospores.g-1 of substrate) were added to the substrate consisting of red ferralitic soil: cattle manure: biochar (2:1:1 v/v). The experiment was carried out in 60 cell trays , which were randomly distributed in biological isolators. Control treatments without the fungus were included. After 30 days, vegetative growth and colonization of the substrate and roots by P. chlamydosporia were evaluated. Subsequently, five plants from the rice husk biochar + P. chlamydosporia treatment were transplanted to pots containing one kg of sterile substrate (soil: cattle manure 1:1 v/v), inoculated with 500 juveniles of a pure population of M. incognita, and to control pots without nematodes and left to grow for 60 days. The vegetative growth and the nematode gall index were evaluated. The application of biochars and P. chlamydosporia did not affect rhizosphere colonization by the fungus and showed a positive effect on growth of tomato plants. The fungus with rice biochar achieved early protection against M. incognita.
