Effect of nursery fertilizers on plant growth and in the control of Meloidogyne javanica root knot nematode on mung bean and okra plants

The potential impact of five widely used locally available nursery fertilizers viz., flourish, frutan, NPK, urea and fishmeal on the growth of mung bean and okra plants and control of Meloidogyne javanica root knot nematodes was examined.

Summary:The potential impact of five widely used locally available nursery fertilizers viz., flourish, frutan, NPK, urea and fishmeal on the growth of mung bean and okra plants and control of Meloidogyne javanica root knot nematodes was examined. All fertilizers enhanced the plant growth as compared to control. The shoot length, root length, shoot weight and root weight were significantly increased in both okra and mung bean plants. Maximum inhibition of knots was achieved by fishmeal @ 0.1% followed by urea @ 0.1% and NPK @0.001% and 0.1%.
