However, the resistance conferred by the  <i>Mi-1  </i>gene is not effective against virulent populations of RKNs. In this study, the efficacy of combining the dose effect of the  <i>Mi-1 </i>gene with  <i>Bacillus firmus  </i>Bredemann & Wermer, 1933 (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) + fluopyram against  <i>Mi-1 </i>-virulent  <i>Meloidogyne incognita  </i>(Kofoid & White, 1919) Chitwood, 1949 (Tylenchida: Meloidogynidae) after soil solarization was assessed for tomatoes grown in a greenhouse. The study was conducted in a greenhouse in Kepez, Antalya between 2015 and 2016. The second-stage juveniles  <i>M. incognita  </i>were not detected in the soil for 2 months after solarization completed. The reactions of homozygous or heterozygous resistant tomato plants against  <i>Mi-1 </i>-virulent populations were not statistically different under greenhouse conditions. Furthermore,  <i>B. firmus  </i>+ fluopyram controlled the RKN population  <i> </i>when applied to the soil both during the planting period and when J2 count in the soil started to increase. This study suggests that  <b> </b>the soil solarization should be combined with other management methods, and the dose effect of the  <i>Mi-1  </i>gene is not important against virulent RKN populations. Additionally, combined  <i>B. firmus </i>+ fluopyram have the potential to be used as a suitable management tool for RKN control in tomato production. These findings will help improve integrated management practices for controlling  <i>Mi-1 </i>-virulent RKN populations. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Türkiye Entomoloji Derneği}
