ABSTRACT
A study was conducted to observe the effect of different botanicals viz., neem seed powder (5%) (w/w), garlic extract (10%), parthenium extract (10%), Calotropis procera latex as seed treatment against pigeonpea cyst nematode (Heterodeara cajani) in greengram. Among those plant products, neem seed powder @ five per cent w/w as seed treatment was found effective in increasing the growth parameters and reducing the cysts and juvenile population of H. cajani.
Key words :
Botanicals, cyst nematode, greengram, growth parameters, Heterodera cajani, seed treatment.
