Abstract:
The experiment was conducted for the management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita through integrated effect of different Bio-agents and oil cakes as soil application infecting Chilli. The result showed- observations: number of egg masses per 5 g root, number of females 5 g root, number of egg and larval masses per egg mass & final nematode population/ 200 cc soil and yield are recorded at the time of harvest. Among the observations, Purpureocillium lilacinum at 4 g + castor oilcake at 30 g/m² was the best treatment followed by Purpureocillium lilacinum at 4 g + mahua cake at 30 gm /m² over control. While, chemical check (Carbofuran 3 G at 2 kg/ha) best to other treatment for enhancing plant yield of chilli and reducing nematode population.
