Table 2 Effect of Bacillus aryabhattai KMT-4 on nematode population after 45 days of treatment in pot experiment on brinjal (Solanum melongena L.)

Treatment^#	Numbers of galls/root system^{^}	Numbers of eggs/root system^{^}	Final nematode population/200cc soil^{^}
T1	-	-	-
T2	-	-	-
T3	31.6±2.3^A	2826.6±92.0^A	1141.6±18.0^A

T1 and T2 were not inoculated with nematode M. javanica according to the treatment plan, and initially, there were 3000eggs/root system. (T3, RDF + M. javanica; T4, RDF + M. javanica + A. chroococcum Mac27 (10⁸ CFU/ml); T5, RDF + M. javanica + Carbofuran at 1 kg a.i/ha; and T6, RDF + M. javanica + isolate KMT-4 (10⁸ CFU/ml)
