Abstract

Synergistic effects between the pathogens causing Phytophthora foot rot (P. capsici) and slow decline (P. capsici, R. similis and M. incognita) of Piper nigrum were investigated in pot experiments. P. capsici and R. similis alone and in combination caused severe root rot and when both nematodes were inoculated first followed by P. capsici, the plants showed wilting symptoms quicker. Damage caused by M. incognita alone was much less, but in combination with the other 2 pathogens the damage was synergistic.
