Effect of seed treatment with pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B_6) on root-knot nematode. Meloidogyne incognita and plant growth of frenchbean (Rajmah)

摘要

Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B_6) has been reported to play an important role in plant growth and other parameters of plant development (1,2). Similarly, vitamins have also been used for the control of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (3). Therefore, this present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of seed treatments with different concentrations of pyridoxine hydrochloride for different durations on the root-knot development caused by M. incognita and plant growth of frenchbean (Rajmah) cv. HUR-137.
