Efficacy of Organic Amendments in Combination with the Nematicide for Management of Meloidogyne incognita in Brinjal

Efficacy of organic amendments viz., neem cake, vermicompost, neem seed kernel, sawdust and carbofuran 3G against root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita in brinjal under field condition was tested by applying individually and in combinations. All the treatments showed significant effects on plant growth parameters and yield of brinjal with corresponding decrease in the nematode populations both in soil and roots. Among all the treatments, the treatment with neemcake + carbofuran 3G showed superior over control in respect of plant growth parameters and yield of brinjal and decrease in nematode multiplication.
