Cultural practices (weeding, removal of stubbles, thinning) followed by crop rotation with paddy and wheat for two years reduced the root-knot nematode population in jute fields to manageable levels. Granular insecticides also reduced nematode populations and increased fibre yield when compared to control. Amongst the treatments, chicken manure application resulted in highest yield.
