Root-knot nematode  Meloidogyne  spp. causes galls on pepper ( Capsicum  spp L.) roots leading to yield loss. Root-knot disease control in pepper with chemical nematicides is effective but environmental and health concerns are serious drawbacks. Use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for control may present a solution. A screenhouse experiment was conducted to assess bio-control efficacy of 4 AMF species against  Meloidogyne incognita  infecting pepper genotypes with known resistance.  Septoglomus deserticola  and  Funneliformis mosseae  were the most efficient ( p  = .05) AMF species in inhibiting nematode infection, enhancing growth and fruit yield of pepper genotypes. Averaged across pepper genotypes,  S. deserticola  increased fresh fruit yield by 2.42% and 6.98% compared with  Claroideoglomus claroideum  and  Gigaspora gigantea , respectively, while  F. mosseae  increased it by 1.43% and 5.95%, respectively. These AMF species might be used as bio-control agents of  M. incognita  infecting these pepper genotypes.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus species differed in bio-control potential on pepper genotypes infected with Meloidogyne incognita
