Abstract

Organic amendments in the form of oilcakes have been used successfully for the control of plant parasitic nematodes by incorporation into the soil before sowing or transplanting (Khan et a!., 1966; Khan, 1977; Singh and Sitaramaiah, 1966 and 1971). The economic benefits might be further improved by seed treatment with the oilcakes. This has been investigated with castor, mustard, neem, mahua and groundnut oilcakes and compared with certain nematicide seed treatments of tomato cv. Marglobe.
