Exploring interaction among active members of rhizosphere is a new challenge in the last decade in biological study. Among novel research of this aspect is identifying how interaction among plant with herbivore and natural enemies. The current study addressed the interaction event among entomopathogenic nematode with plant and herbivores. The finding showed that the tomato leaf miner, tuta absoulta showed less preference of the treated plant with, entomopathogenic nematode, root knot nematode and simultaneous treatment with both nematode species rather than control plants. Subsequently it was confirmed the entomopathogenic nematode did not caused any change on gall indices and egg mass. Of root knot nematode. Enzymatic assay showed that this level decreased in leaf through the time while in the root, this ratio increased in initial but decreased after 7 days and then. Those finding provided the preliminary steps toward finding the mechanism of interaction among plant – herbivore and natural enemy. Ongoing works on RNA sequencing of the plant while interacting with those agents will provide deep insight into realizing the possible role of natural enemy in change any related factor with plant resistance. Against herbivores.
