RESUMEN
The nematicidal effects of smashed garlic, sincocin-AG and nemaless on the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infecting cowpea were studied under greenhouse conditions. It was noticed that most treatments significantly [P = 0.05 and 0.01] decreased the numbers of nematode galls, females and egg masses on cowpea roots compared to the infected-untreated check. Plant growth parameters as dry weight of roots significantly [P = 0.05 and 0.01] increased by all treatments, being insignificant in the other plant criteria studied. Also, number of nodules significantly [P = 0.01 and 0.05] increased by most treatments

The influences of buffalo, poultry and pigeon droppings as organic amendments, nitrobien and phosphorine as biofertilizers and intercropped marigold, Tagetes erecta were evaluated against Meloidogyne incognita infecting cowpea plants. Results proved that all treatments significantly [P = 0.01 and 0.05] reduced the root-knot nematode gall, egg mass and female numbers in infected-treated cowpea plants and enhanced plant growth criteria compared to the untreated check. No significant differences were shown between the tested biofertilizers in reducing nematode parameters as well as plant growth
