Abstract
Abstract Experiments on the effect of 0–3 summer ploughings on the incidence of root‐knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) infecting tomato under naturally‐infested field conditions, revealed that use of three summer ploughings during the month of June (average atmospheric temperature ranging from 40° to 46°C) in Hisar (India) led to a 96.5% reduction in M. javanica populations. Clean fallowing alone (no ploughing) showed a 44.5% reduction in M. javanica populations. Further, transplanting of healthy (uninfected) tomato seedlings gave a significantly higher yield, irrespective of number of ploughings, than the transplanting of root‐knot nematode infected nursery seedlings. There was a 55.1% increase in tomato yield with the treatment combina‐. tion involving three ploughings + uninfected tomato nursery seedlings, over three ploughings + infected nursery seedlings. Final root‐knot index was also minimum and significantly less in plots receiving three ploughings.
