Effect of different nematicides, oilcakes and urea in the control of Rotylenchulus reniformis on okra

Pot culture studies were conducted to find out the effect of nematicides (aldicarb, carbofuran, ethoprophos, UC-54229) oilicakes (neem, karanj, polang) and urea, singly and in combinations, against the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis infecting okra cultivar Pusa Sawani. Application of aldicarb (1 kg a.i./ha) + neem oilcake (0.5 ton/ha) followed by carbofuran (1 kg a.i./ha) + neem oilcake (0.5 ton/ha) proved most effective in reducing the nematode population and increasing growth of the plants.
