Interaction effects of root-knot nematode, lesion nematode and reniform nematode on brinjal

摘要

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.), a very common and popular crop, is often attacked by a number of plant parasitic nematodes. The study was undertaken as pot culture under glass house conditions using steam sterilised pot mixture (red soil: Sand: farm yard manure 2: 1 : 1 v/v). On the whole eight treatments were tried replicated four times and the experiment was under randomised block design. The treatments included individual inoculation of M. incognita, P. delattrei, and R. reniformis, a combination of M. incognita, and P. delattrei, P. delattrei and R. reniformis, M. incognita and R. reniformis and finally concomitant inoculation of all the three nematodes with an uninoculated control.
