Field experiment was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of nematicides in groundnut infested with root-knot nematode (M. javanica). On the basis of results it has been found that seed treatment with carbosulfan (25 ST w/w) alongwith soil treatment with phorate (10G) @ 2 kg. a.i./ha increased the yield and minimized the nematode infestation.
