Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to estimate avoidable yield losses due to root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. infesting okra. The application of Carbofuran 3G @1.5 kg a.i/ha significantly enhanced the plant growth parameters and yield of okra with significant reduction in root-knot index and nematode population under field conditions. The avoidable yield loss recorded at the end of two years was 23.00 percent due to root knot nematodes in okra cv. GAO 5.
