INM

An experiment was carried out for the management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita on mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) with the help of integrated management of Paecilomyces lilacinus fungus and organic amendments. Paecilomyces lilacinus along with dried leaf powder of Azadirachta indica Juss. and oil cake of sesame were tested for their nematicidal activity. Results of pot experiments of integrated nematode management (INM) significantly enhanced the plant growth and reduced nematode population. Biomass was increased and disease intensity was reduced by both the combinations but more effectively by Azadirachta leaf powder.

An experiment was carried out for the management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita on mungbean (Vigna Radiata L.) with the help of integrated management of AM fungi and dried leaf powder. Glomus fasciculatum and dried leaf powders of Azadirachta indica Juss. and Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. were tested for their namaticidal activity. Results of pot experiments of integrated nematode management (INM) by leaf powders and AM fungi significantly enhanced the plant growth and reduced nematode population. Biomass was increased and disease intensity was reduced by both the combinations but more effectively by Azadirachta leaf powder and AM fungi.
