Abstract : |
The effect of three organic amendments including poultry manure, pigeon manure and sawdust and carbofuran on the population of Tylenchorhynchus curvus, Helicotylenchus indicus and Meloidogyne sp., larvae associated with chilli and the chilli yield were investigated. Population densities of the nematodes were reduced by the organic amendments to varied extent. Poultry manure caused greatest reduction of nematode populations. Yield of chilli was remarkably increased by poultry manure and carbofuran., |
