Abstract
All the cultivars of tomato tested were found to be infected with the root‐knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, however, to varying extent. There was also reducton in plant growth parameters accordingly. Further reduction in plant growth of tomato cultivars was recorded when plants also received the treatment with the heavy metal, lead, notwithstanding the fact that the presence of lead also reduced the root‐knot development. Tomato cv. Arka Vikas showed minimum reduction in plant growth with single or combined treatment with the nematode and the heavy metal.
