Studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of carbosulfan (25 STD) and Neem seed kernel powder (NSKP) as corm dressing on growth of gladiolus var. Shweta infested with root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. Carbosulfan (25 STD) at 3% (w/w) as corm dressing reduced the infection of M. incognita. Treated corms with carbosulfan at 3% (w/w) and neem seed kernel powder at 10% (w/w) resulted in increased plant growth parameters and less galls of M. incognita compared to their corresponding lower concentrations.
