Abstract:
Experiment was conducted for the management of Root Knot nematode through effect of Oil cakes as soil application infecting Chilli. The effect of different oilcakes namely castor, mahua and Karanj are determined at time of harvest. For this purpose, oilcakes were applied on the experimental site before 15 days for decomposition and crop was sown. The observations were taken at time of harvest. The results showed that the castor cake at 2 different doses (60 g and 30 g/m²) considerably reduced the females number per 5 gm root, number of masses of egg per 5 gm root, egg number and larval egg mass of final nematode population per 200 cc soil and also increased the yield of crop. However all the treatments were significant over control but among the treatments the results were non- significant.
