Role of oil-seed cakes for the management of plant-parasitic nematodes and soil-inhabiting fungi on lentil and mungben
Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection 33 (6), 453-472
Abstract: The oil-seed cakes of neem (Azadirachta indica), castor (Ricinus communis), linseed (Linum usitatissimum), groundnut (Arachis hypogaea), mustard (Brassica campestris) and duan (Eruca sativa) were tested for their efficacious nature against plant-parasitic nematodes and soil-inhabiting fungi infesting lentil and also on the subsequent crop, mungbean in field trials. The population of plant-parasitic nematodes such as Meloidogyne incognita, Rotylenchulus reniformis, Tylenchorhynchus brassicae, Helicotylenchus indicus etc., and the frequency of pathogenic fungi Macrophomina phaseolina, Fusarium oxysporum f. lentis, Rhizoctonia solani, Septoria leguminum, Sclerotium rolfsii, etc., were significantly reduced by the incorporation of oil-seed cakes, however, the frequency of saprophytic fungi Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viridae, Penicillium degetatum, etc., was increased. A several-fold improvement was observed in plant-growth parameters such as plant weight, percent pollen fertility, pod numbers, chlorophyll content, nitrate reductase activity in leaves and root-nodulation. The residual effects of different oil-seed cakes were also noted in the subsequent crop, mungbean, in the next growing season. The population of plant-parasitic nematodes and frequency of soil-inhabiting fungi also influenced by the depth of ploughing.
