Abstract

A study under glass house conditions indicated that among the various botanicals Melia azedarach (80 g/pot) recorded maximum shoot length, fresh shoot weight and pod yield. The highest reduction in root-knot index and nematode population was also recorded in this treatment followed by Azadirachta indica leaves (80/pot). A. indica (80g/pot) recorded maximum dry shoot weight.
