Abstract

The effect of different organic manures viz. Goat dung, Poultry manure, Cow dung and bioagent Trichoderma viride alone and in combination as soil application were evaluated against root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infecting jute. The results indicated that all these organic manures both alone or in combination with bioagent, T. viride significantly reduced the number of galls and egg masses per plant, final nematode population in soil and increased the seed yield of jute in comparison to untreated control. Maximum reduction of number of galls, eggmasses and final nematode population in soil was recorded in the treatment with soil application of poultry manure in combination with T. viride followed by the treatment with soil application of goat dung in combination with T. viride. Likewise highest seed yield of jute was recorded in the treatment with soil application of poultry manure in combination with T. viride

Keywords

Jute, organic manure, root-knot nematode, Trichoderma viride

Conclusion

From the present investigation it is clearly indicates that root-knot nematode can effectively be managed by application of organic manures and antagonistic fungus, T. viride. Applications of antagonistic fungus, T. viride in combination with different organic manures were found to very effective as compared with application of organic manures alone. Thus it can be concluded that as an alternative method of application of chemical nematicides combinations of bioagents and soil application of organic amendments plays an important role in effective management of plant parasitic nematodes
