Abstract
A pot culture experiment was conducted under
Polyhouse conditions for the management of root knot nematode Meloidogyne
incognita infecting Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) by using fungal bioagents
namely Paecilomyces lilacinus (@ 50g/kg soil), Castor cake (@ 6g/kg soil), and
Grafting (cleft grafting by using Solanum torvum as rootstock and tomato plant
as scion) and untreated control. The experiment was laid out in a CRBD
(completely randomized block design) with three treatments and each replicated
five times. Statistical analysis showed that all treatments were found most
effective in improving plant growth parameters and reduction in nematode
reproduction as compared to untreated check. Among all the treatments Grafting
was found to be superior in increasing plant growth parameters and drastic
reduction in nematode reproduction over other treatments.
