Seven treatments comprising of non-treated control, dholkalmi plant extract, mustard oil cake, sawdust, ash, sawdust with ash and chemical Furadan 5G were evaluated against root knot (Meloidogyne javanica) disease of bitter gourd and teasle gourd. In both the vegetable crops, nematicide Furadan 5G improved plant growth characters and reduced nematode infestation.
