摘要 [Objectives] The paper was to further investigate the correlation between the presence of earthworms and the occurrence of Meloidogyne incognita. [Methods] The effect of earthworms on the population quantity of M. incognita and the growth of tomato plants was assessed through a potting experiment utilizing Eisenia fetida and M. incognita as the primary subjects of investigation. [Results] E. fetida exhibited an inhibitory effect on both the reproductive capacity and the prevalence of M. incognita. Additionally, it mitigated the adverse effects of M. incognita on the growth and development of tomato plants. [Conclusions] The findings of this study will establish a theoretical framework for utilizing earthworms and their metabolites to modulate the rhizosphere microecological environment, thereby facilitating the management of M. incognita.
