Checking alone and combined infection of root-knot and reniform nematodes in brinjal by granular pesticides

Application of carbofuran or aldicarb at 1.5 Kg ai/ha was found to be the most effective in increasing the plant growth and yield and reducing the root-knot and reniform nematode population in root and soil. This effect was noticeable upto 100 days after the application of the chemicals. Phorate and quinalphos were found to be the least effective.
