Bio-rational management for root-knot disease of tomato caused by meloidogyne incognita
Keywords:
Tomato, root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, Tricho-compost, neem oil cake, Furadan 5G.Abstract
The experiments were conducted during two consecutive cropping seasons of 2017-19 to develop bio-rational based eco-friendly integrated management of root-knot diseases of tomato caused by Meloidogyne incognita. The root knot nematode (RKN) infested soils were treated with a different combination of Trichoderma based Tricho-compost and neem oil cake with or without low dose of chemical nematicide Furadan 5G. All the treatments gave appreciable reduction of gall development in roots, increased plant growth parameters such as shoot and root growth and fruit yield of tomato. Among the treatments, integration of Tricho-composts with Furadan 5G or neem oil cake integrated with Furadan 5G proved better. However, Trichoderma based bio-fungicides Tricho-composts alone produced promising results but integration of Tricho-composts with Furadan 5G or neem oil cake integrated with Furadan 5G could be the best for management of root knot nematode.
