Abstract

Two field trials were conducted at State Govt. Farm, Bilwa, Bareilly (U.P.) during 2015 and 2016 for the management of three nematodes viz. Tylenchorhynus vulgaris, Hoplolaimus indicus and Meloidogyne arenaria in Peanut. Various treatments significantly reduced population of all three plant parasitic nematodes after 30 and 75 days of sampling however, significant control of M. arenaria was recorded in plots receiving all three treatments (summer ploughing, mustard cake & Triazophos). This treatment also recorded highest yield of peanut (77.3/5 plants), followed by Triazophos sprayed @ 500 ppm/plot alone. Thus, integration schedule was found to be effective and farmers were convinced. The avoidable yield loss of peanut was calculated up to 42.2%.
