Abstract

Water extracts of 15,30 and 45 leaves of “Kathal Champa” (Artabotrys odoratissimus) were tried against Meloidogyne incognita. When egg-masses of the nematode were kept in aqueous solution of the above leaf extracts, significant reduction in larval hatch was observed after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Maximum reduction in the rate of hatching occurred when the egg-masses were subjected in the extract for 72 hours.
