Abstract

Plant parasitic nematodes are one of the major limiting factors in the production of tuberose. Among the nematodes, root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita is serious and important nematode, which causes flower yield loss about 40 per cent. Limited chemical nematicides are available for nematode management and farmers are not used these nematicide due to environmental concern. Alternatively ecofriendly bionematicides are gaining much important for nematode management among the farmers. Hence, a field experiment was conducted to study the potential of bionematicide on root knot nematode management using commercially available talc formulation of Paecilomyces lilacinus, Pochonia chlamydosporia, growing of marigold and neem cake along with chemical check Carbofuran 3G and compared with untreated control under root knot nematode sick field. The above said biocontrol agents were applied as seed treatment (bulbs) and soil application as per the treatment schedule. The biometrical observati
