Abstract

Parthenium hysterophorus, Cannabis sativa, Celotropis procera Anagelis arvensis, Catheranthus roseus and Euphorbia hirta, when used as green manure increased the plant growth and reduced the Meloidogyne incognita, Helicotylenchus dihystera, Tylenchorhynchus nudus and Pratylenchus zeae population significantly. Application of dried power of tested plants in soil was found to be useful in reducing nematode multiplication; however the increase in plant growth was not encouraging.
