Popis: Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is the most widespread nematode affecting Solanaceae crops. Due to the lack of effective measures to control this nematode, its management can be achieved, using biocontrol agents. This study investigated in vitro efficacy of the antagonistic bacterial strain J211 isolated from tobacco rhizosphere soil against M. incognita, and further assessed its role in controlling nematodes, both in pot and field trials. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain J211 assigned to Burkholderia arboris. Culture filtrates B. arboris J211 exhibited anematicidal activity against the second-stage juveniles (J2s) of M. incognita, with a 96.6% mortality after 24 h exposure. Inoculation of J211 in tobacco roots significantly reduced the root galling caused by M. incognita, both in pot and field trials. Meanwhile, plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits results showed that J211 had outstanding IAA-producing activity, and the IAA production reached 66.60 mg L−1. In the field study, B. arboris J211 also promoted tobacco growth and increase flue-cured tobacco yield by 8.7–24.3%. Overall, B. arboris J211 as a high-yielding IAA nematicidal strain effectively controlled M. incognita and improved tobacco yield making it a promising alternative bionematocide.
