Salient Research Achievements
(in bullets)
  • Molecular identification of major banana nematodes and entomopathogenic nematodes were done by sequencing amplified DNA fragment of nematodes and submitted at NCBI portal.
  • Isolated two native entomopathogenic nematode species (Steinernema siamkayai and Heterorhabditis indica) and evaluated against banana stem weevil.
  • Identified resistant germplasm lines and hybrids of banana (Musa spp.) to root-lesion (Pratylenchus coffeae) and root-knot (Meloidogyne incognita) nematodes.
  • Evaluated and identified effective biocontrol agents (Trichoderma asperellum and Bacillus flexus) against root-lesion and root-knot nematodes.
