Neem gold and neem seed kernel extracts (NSKE) @ 100 ml/kg of seed v/w increased comparatively better root length in comparison to other treatments. Neem gold exhibited best performance provided 4.25 and 3.64 g/plant of fresh shoot and root weight followed by 2.65 and 2.36 g/plant of dry shoot and root weight. The organic amendment neem gold found most efficacious gave 85.4 and 63.9% reduction in root galls and egg masses followed by NSKE and neem seed coat extract (NSCE) by giving 83.4 and 74.3% reduction in galls formation and 22.2 and 23.4% in egg masses, respectively. Highest 42.1% reduction in Meloidogyne spp. was recorded in neem gold followed by 40% population of NSKE. The maximum yield of green gram was recorded in neem gold followed by NSKE. The yield was negatively correlated with incidence of M. incognita.
