Abstract

Bare root-dip of tomato, Lycopersicon lycopersicum (L.) Karsten cv. ‘Pusa Ruby’ in extracts of neem leaf and oil-cake alone, carbofuran alone and in combination significantly reduced the root-knot nematode penetration into roots. Highest inhibition in root-knot larvae penetration was observed in neem-cake extract with carbofuran plant dipped at 120 minutes. Highest reduction in root-knot development was observed in soil amended with neem-cake+carbofuran. Due to reduction in root-knot development, the plant growth increased in these treatments.
