Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Anand Agriculture University, Anand (Gujarat) to estimate avoidable yield losses due to root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. infesting okra. The application of Carbofuran 3G @ 1.5 kg a.i ha-1 significantly enhanced the plant growth parameters and yield of okra with significant reduction in root-knot index and nematode population under field conditions. The avoidable yield loss recorded at the end of two years was 23.75% due to root knot nematodes in okra cv. GAO 5.
