Abstract

A study was conducted to know the effect of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) in the field soil on the efficacy of carbofuran against (Meloidogyne incognita) in brinjal. Reduced nematode population with enhanced plant growth parameters was observed with higher dose of FYM application. The treatment combination of FYM @ 27 g/kg of soil + carbofuran @ 60 mg/kg of soil increased the shoot length, root length, shoot weight and root weight of brinjal plants to the tune of 38%, 58%, 42% and 49%, respectively over untreated control. It also reduced the number of galls, number of egg masses and nematode population of pot soils by 63%, 68% and 37.9%, respectively with least nematode multiplication rate (0.91).
