Improvement of Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 biocontrol activity against root-knot nematode by the addition of ammonium molybdate

Abstract

Application of minerals such as ammonium molybdate is appealing because they are cheap and can easily be applied under field conditions to improve biocontrol potential of the bacterial inoculants. They also significantly reduce the amount of biocontrol inoculant biomass required to achieve root-knot disease control, with a consequent reduction in cost.
