“…Synthetic nematicides have emerged as one of the most popular and commonly used methods for root-knot nematode management. Nevertheless, the use of these harmful and potentially hazardous chemicals raises significant concerns in developed societies (Talpur et al 2023). Additionally, nematicides are associated with limitations such as an unfavorable cost-effectiveness, limited accessibility for small-scale farmers, the development of nematicide resistance, environmental and groundwater pollution, as well as disturbance to soil microflora and fauna.…”

One of the most effective and cost-efficient methods to manage plant parasitic nematodes is to use resistant cultivars. However, little information on the resistance of commercial okra cultivars grown in the country was available. Therefore, nine okra cultivars were evaluated for their comparative resistance against Meloidogyne incognita, the most damaging root-knot nematode. None of the tested okra cultivars showed high level of resistance. However, three cultivars viz. Pusa Swami, PB Selection and Green Star appeared as moderately resistant.Sabz Pari, Neelum and Tulsi were found moderately susceptible to the nematode. Two cultivars i.e. Ikra-1 and Ikra-2 were susceptible and Arka Anamika was highly susceptible. The okra cultivars differed significantly in their growth parameters depending on their response to M. incognita. Moderately resistant cultivars sustained little damage as compared to moderately susceptible or susceptible cultivars while the highly susceptible cultivar suffered the maximum damage by the nematode. Significant differences in the numbers of galls, eggmasses and reproductive factors of M. incognita on the nine okra cultivars were also observed. The highest numbers were found on Arka Anamika, followed by Ikra-1 and Ikra-2. The lowest numbers were found on the moderately resistant cultivars, followed by the moderately susceptible ones. High and positive correlations between the number of galls and eggmasses and the decreases in growth metrics were found using linear and non-linear regression analysis.

In South Asian countries, the lucrative production of peaches has been seriously threatened by an assortment of biotic stresses especially nematodes. This situation compromises the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) related to food security and zero hunger. Recently under changing climate, root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne have emerged as the most damaging phytopathogenic nematodes, while the efficacy of chemical control has remained limited. Therefore, a study was executed to assess the efficacy of four biocontrol agents including Pochonia chlamydosporia, Purpureocillum lilacinum, Trichoderma harzianum, and T. viride (at concentrations of 2.5 × 103, 5 × 103, 7.5 × 103, and 1 × 104) along with nematicide Rugby and a control treatment against Meloidogyne javanica on peach. The response variables included nematode infestations in terms of number of galls, egg masses, and reproductive factors. P. lilacinus and T. harzianum (1 × 104 concentration) reduced the number of galls by 18% and 16%, respectively, than the control. All biocontrol agents exhibited their effectiveness by significantly reducing number of egg masses, eggs per egg mass, and reproductive factors, while these remained statistically at par to each other. The study proved that application of these biocontrol agents holds potential for controlling root-knot nematodes and might be developed as a potent strategy to replace or at least reduce the use of traditional chemicals for avoiding environmental pollution and contamination.
