Abstract
The effect of nursery treatments on brinjal seedlings and their subsequent performance in a root-knot nematode infested field was studied with four chemicals, viz. DBCP @ 3ml.a.i./sq.m, metham sodium @ 15, 20 & 25ml/sq.m, carbofuran @ 0.2, 0.3 & 0.4 g/sq.m. and temik @ 0.2, 0.3 & 0.4g/sq.m. Seeds of brinjal (local) were sown in nematicides treated nursery beds. Seedlings were uprooted on the 30th day after sowing and transplanted in the corresponding plots for each treatment in the main field. The performance of these plants were compared.
