Globally, plant parasitic nematodes cause high yield losses for about US$118 billion yearly [5]. The root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the most widespread nematodes that cause more than 27% losses of tomato yield [6,7]. In Egypt, root-knot nematode attack tomato crops and causes seriously crop damage particularly in the infested sandy soil [8]. Management of Meloidogyne spp. is extremely dif icult due to their wide range of the hosts, short periods of high reproductive rate and generation [9]. Several strategies, including resistance cultivars , organic soil amendments, and biological control have been developed as alternatives to chemicals in the management of plant parasitic nematodes [10-12]. The nematode management in ecofriendly sustainable agricultural systems includes using organic residues as lowinput materials in agriculture system which is considered as an economical solution for the environmental problem resulting from the disposal of organic waste materials, as well as enhancing soil structure and increase water holding capacity [13-16]. Numerous succeed trials have been made to apply non chemical methods to manage root-knot nematode, M. incognita infecting tomato plants by adding uncomposted materials or mushroom compost prior to planting in nematode-infested soil [17-20].
