Chemical control of Meloidogyne incognita on pea

Four chemicals viz., carbofuran, diazinon, ekalux and phorate each @ 1, 2 and 3 per cent (a.i. w/w) were tested as seed treatment for the control of Meloidogyne incognita infecting pea under both laboratory and field conditions. All the chemicals were effective even at low rate of application in reducing galls and egg masses in roots of pea and increased yield. The best result was found with carbofuran at 3 per cent.
