Effects of different control methods on the plant growth and root galling of green bean infected with Meloidogyne incognita, 60 days after inoculation (greenhouse 25 ± °C).

Treatment	Plant fresh weight (g)	% change from M. incognita control	No. of galls/root system	Gall index (GI) (0–5)
Non-treated and non-infected control	11.9 cd	+17.8
M. incognita (N)	10.1 de		509.0 a	5.0 a
N+ dazomet	9.5 de	−4.8	1.0 e	1.0 e
N+ fenamiphos	14.4 abc	+43.6	2.0 e	1.2 de
N+ fenamiphos (seed dressing)	16.7 a	+68.2	56.0 d	4.0 b
N+ fenamiphos (seed dip)	15.0 ab	+51.4	2.0 e	1.4 d
N+ P. lilacinus	15.2 ab	+52.9	212.0 c	5.0 a
N+ soil solarization	13.9 bc	+43.3	1.0 e	1.0 e
N+ Glomus sp.	8.6 e	−12.2	311.0 b	5.0 a
N+ urea (46%)	4.9 f	−47.9	44.0 d	3.40 c

Values are means of five replicates.

Means within the same column that are followed by the same letter(s) are not significantly different according to Fisher’s Protected LSD (P ⩽ 0.05).

Gall index (GI): 0 = none, 1 = 1–2, 2 = 3–10, 3 = 11–30, 4 = 31–100, and 5 = more than 100 galls per root system.
