Which one of the following pair is incorrectly matched?
- ARhizobium - Root nodules of leguminous plants
- BBaculovirus - Nucleopolyhedro virus
- CLadybird Beetles - aphids
- Correct answerDTrichoderma - non-biocontrol agent
Solution
Rhizobium lives symbiotically in root nodules of leguminous plants and carries out nitrogen fixation. Baculovirus belongs to group of Nucleopolyhedro virus and is used as a biocontrol against insect and other arthropods. Lady bird beetel is used to get rid of aphids. Trichoderma is a free living soil borne fungus which inhibits growth of other fungal pathogen, thus is used as a biocontrol agent.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
