Abstract

The present work deals with evaluation of nematicidal potential of aqueous extracts of Azadiracta indica, Hyptis suaveolens, Oscimum sanctum and Celosia argentea against Meloidogyne incognita infecting rice seedlings. Azadiracta indica and Hyptis suaveolens showed nematicidal potential,while Oscimum santum and Celosia argentea were least effective.
