Nematicidal Effects of Various Fractions of Curcuma longa against Meloidogyne incognita (root knot nematodes)

Parasitism is an important limiting factor responsible to cause damage agricultural production. Plant parasitic root knot nematodes attack several economic crops in Pakistan. Plant- considerably add huge losses economies the top tomatoes crop producing countries throughout world, instead of controlling main pathogenic nematode species as usual; one innovative strategies control plant-parasitic would be manage diversity communities order lead them less pathogenic. The plants and their materials are potential remedies for management. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) along with its biological applications may serve a biopesticide against Meloidogyne incognita, species. A bioassay guided isolation various fractions turmeric was subjected nematicidal activity comparison Azadirachta indica incognita larvae at concentration 0.25, 0.5, 1% 48 hours. Alongside, Larvae eggs were inoculated around tomato seedlings experiments growth chamber. contains water turmeric. Root gall severity final population suppressed significantly.
