Abstract

Pathogenicity test was conducted of three beetroot (Beta vulgaris) cultivars using five different inocula of Meloidogyne incognita and Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata. Plant growth parameters, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were reduced significantly over control when 2000 or more second stage juveniles (J2) of M. incognita or 10.0 mL or more P. syringae pv. aptata per kg soil were inoculated in cultivar Rosy Red 555 and Ruby Queen while in Red Express 505, 4000 or more J2 of M. incognita or 20.0 mL or more P. syringae pv. aptata caused significant reductions. A significant increase in proline in Rosy Red 555 and Ruby Queen was observed when 2000 or more J2 of M. incognita or 10.0 mL or more P. syringae pv. aptata were inoculated while in Red Express 505, 4000 or more J2 of M. incognita or 20 mL or more P. syringae pv. aptata caused significant increase. Galling and nematode population was increased with the increase in inoculum level of M. incognita. Bacterial leaf spot indices caused by P. syringae pv. aptata was also increased with the increase in inoculum level of bacterial pathogen. Leaf spot indices were recorded 1–5 scale in different cultivars.
