Abstract: In order to understand the biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora SD( Hb SD) on Meloidogyne incognita,we inoculated Hb SD infected juveniles( IJs) suspension and the2 nd stage juveniles( J2) of M. incognita onto potted tomatoes to test the changes of oocyst numbers on tomato roots,root knot index( RKI) and reproduction factor( Rf) to study the suppression effect of Hb SD on M. incognita. The results showed that Hb SD inoculation at the 3 different inoculation time and 2 concentrations had a significantly different( P ﹤ 0. 05) effect on the oocyst numbers,RKI and Rf. The RKI,the oocyst number and the Rf of the treatment Hb SD 6 000 IJs + M. incognita were 2. 67,53. 8 and 19. 77 in the tomato roots,which were obviously lower than those of the control( 3. 5,82. 2 and 26. 81) and inhibited upto 31. 40% of M. incognita in the tomato roots.
