| Abstract: | Dead fallen leaves of bakain (Melia azedarach L.). castor (Ricinus communis L.) and neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) significantly suppressed the development of root-knot caused by Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood and populations of other plantparasitic nematodes. Leaves of neem were found more effective than castor and bakain. Rootknot development and nematode population densities decreased, and growth responses of tomato and chilli increased with increasing doses of additives. |
