Efficacy of neem cake and some chemicals to manage the Meloidogyne incognita-Macrophomina phaseolina disease complex of jute
International Journal of Nematology 15 (2), 203-206
Abstract: Experiment conducted in a sick field to manage Meloidogyne incognita-Macrophomina phaseolina complex in jute revealed that combined application of neem cake @ 1000 Kg/ha+mancozeb 75 WP @ 0.25% soil drench at sowing time was the best one which reduced the plant mortality, gall indices and final fungal spore load in soil over untreated control by 79%, 16% and 49%, respectively and achieved the highest shoot length (271.20 cm), basal diameter (1.25 cm) and fibre yield (28.91 q/ha). This was followed by the combined application of carbofuran 3G @ 1 kg a. i. /ha+mancozeb 75 WP @ 0.25% soil drench at sowing time where reduction of plant mortality, gall indices, and final fungal spore load in soil over check plot were 76%, 14% and 41%, respectively and the shoot length and basal diameter at harvest and fibre yield were recorded as 253.18 cm, 1.17 cm and 27.45 q/ha, respectively.
