Abstract: In order to study the effect of multi-microbial agents, which was consisted of Purpureocillium lilacinum, Streptomyces olivaceus and Ochrobactrum pseudogrignonense, on root-knot nematodes in lettuce field, the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with the commercial multi-microbial agent, which was mainly consisted of P. lilacinum, turfy soil and 10% fosthiazate granules as controls. The results showed that the 10% fosthiazate had the best effect up to 78.2% on lettuce root-knot nematode. The effect of multi-microbial agent on lettuce root-knot nematode at 44 dwas 34.9%, which was significantly superior to the commercial multi-microbial agent, turfy soil and the untreated control. Meanwhile, the application of multi-microbial agent could also promote plant growth. Both the fresh weight and the height of the multi-microbial agent treatment were significantly higher than the commercial multi-microbial agent, turfy soil and the untreated control. The total yield of multi-microbial agent treatment was also higher than other four treatments with the improvement of 47.2%. The results indicated that the multi-microbial agent could not only effectively control the lettuce root-knot nematode, but also improve the growth of the plant and the yield. Although the effect of the multi-microbial agent was not as good as the 10% fosthiazate, it gave us a newly effective and safe way to control root-knot nematodes on those leafy vegetables with short growth period.
