Nemacur 400 E.C. @ 5, 10 and 15 kg a.i./ha when used as soil drench as well as foliar spray, on 2 months-old cardamom seedlings against Meloidogyne incognita, in an infested nursery significantly reduced the nematode population. There was no difference between the two methods of application. With an increase in nemacur dosage, the vigour of the seedlings increased. In general, soil drench treatment yielded better plant growth than foliar spray.
