Management of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita and M. Javanica) in tomato by bare root dip treatment

Management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica by using nematicides as a soil and bare root dip application in tomato crop, reveilled that 1000 ppm root dip treatment of carbosulfone, phosphomidon and triazophos gave significantly higher yield over control. Among soil treatments 2.0 kg a.i./ha dose of carbofuran and phorate gave the highest yield and reduced root knot galling indices over control.
