Evaluation of the nematicidal effects of smashed garlic, sincocin and nemaless on the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infecting cowpea plants

ABSTRACT

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 females and egg masses on cowpea roots compared to the infected-untreated check. Plant growth parameters as dry weight of roots significantly [P treatments, being insignificant in the other plant criteria studied. Also, number of nodules significantly [P treatments
