Abstract

Study on comparative efficacy of four neem products e.g., neem bitter, repelin, welgrow and neem seed kernel extract against Meloidogyne incognita infecting tomato cv. Pusa Ruby by seed treatment, bare root dipping of seedlings and foliar spraying proved that all the neem products were effective in reducing the root knot disease incidence and increasing growth of plants. Neem bitter exhibited better performance in all the three methods of treatments.
