Abstract

Pathogenicity of Meloidogyne incognita on chickpea cultivar Pusa 209, was studied with five inoculum levels, namely, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 40 and 8.0 larvae per g of soil along with check and associated check. There was a progressive decrease in plant growth as the inoculum level of the nl matode increased. An inoculum of 2 larvae per g soil was found to be the damaging threshold level. Rhlzobial nodulation was adversely affected at all the inoculum levels.
