Abstract

Seedlings of tomato cv. Marglobe grown in soil maintained at different soil pH were inoculated with single egg mass population of Meloidogyne incognita for determining the extent of morphometric and allometric variations in the female of the nematode. At both, acidic and alkaline pH levels, smaller females were observed as against bigger ones at neutral pH.
