Currently, the disease and its damage prevention are focused on biological control to attain sustainability in agriculture. The use of rhizosphere bacteria is one alternative method for controlling root-knot nematode. The aim of this study is to find out rhizosphere bacteria which are able to control root-knot nematode and to improve growth of tomato. The experiment was conducted in the field, using a randomised block design with ten treatments of rhizosphere bacteria. In the final test in the field, it was concluded that consortium isolate consisting of LM24 and CK212, P52 (LM38 + CN26 + CK27 + CK212) only had potency in suppressing root-knot nematodes and P40 (LM24 + CN26) only resulted in better growth, whereas P31 (LM24 + CN26 + CK27) could not only suppress nematodes but also improve the growth and productivity of the tomato plant.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Rhizosphere bacteria,Root-knot nematode,Sustainable agriculture,Tomato plants[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research was funded by The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education Republic of Indonesia as a doctoral scholarship (BPPDN) to the first author.
