Abstract

Rice root knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola is emerging as an important constraint to production of rice. It is an economically important pathogen infesting nursery, transplanted as well as direct seeded rice. The deregistration of frontline nematicides has focused attention to other ways to manage this pathogen. The current research was carried out to determine the comparative efficacy of non-chemical techniques for M. graminicola management during a two-year period (2019 & 2020). Application of amendments alone or in combination, conventional practices, bio-control agents as well as chemicals were utilized in this experiment for management of M. graminicola. Individual application of amendments viz., mustard cake, neem cake and FYM were found to decrease M. graminicola in soil as well as in roots; but integrated application of organic amendments viz., Neem cake + Mustard cake + FYM showed maximum decrease in M. graminicola infestation. Different treatments had differential impact on growth parameters of the rice seedlings. Maximum seedling length and seedling weight was also recorded in integrated treatment of NC + MC + FYM.
