Integrated Nematode Management of Rotylenchulus reniformis on Cowpea and Chick pea crops

Field trials at IARI Farm on two pulse crops were carried out against Rotylenchulus reniformis and the results showed that the combination of more than one treatment were efficient in managing reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis and maximum yield was recorded in T₇ treatment (Calotropis procera + Trichoderma viride + triazophos) in case of cowpea. Similarly in chick pea, the treatment having combination of neem oil emulsion + T. harzianum and carbofuran showed maximum decrease of reniform nematode population and obtained higher yield of both the pulse crops.
