Irrespective of the application method, the shoot length of okra significantly increased at 50 and 100 μg/ml and was at par with carbofuran treatment. When salicylic acid (SA) was sprayed at 100 μg/ml the increase was more pronounced compared to control. There was decrease in plant growth with an increase in concentrations of salicylic acid. The egg masse production was reduced significantly with the application of SA and carbofuran. SA is not effective in reducing the R. reniformis population. Thus, SA might have induced some resistance in okra against M. incognita but ineffective against R. reniformis.
