Abstract

Neem, castor and karanj products (leaf and seed kernel) were tested as seed dresser (10% wlw) along with soil applicant (2.5 qlha) for management of Rotylenchulus reniformis on cowpea (Pusa Barsati). Results revealed that plant products were effective in improving plant growth and reducing nematode reproduction over untreated check. However, neem seed kernel was found to be the most effective among all the plant products.
