Assessment of avoidable yield losses due to root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infesting fig under field conditions
GH Jagdev and NL Mhase
The field experiment was conducted during November, 2017 to assess the avoidable yield losses due to root- knot nematode in fig (cv. Poona fig) with paired plot design by soil application of carbofuran 3 G at 2.00 kg a.i./ha. The results indicated that the loss in yield of fig in an untreated trees ranged from 16.57 to 31.60%. However, average avoidable loss in the fruit yield of fig was recorded to be 24.92 per cent, when the crop was treated with carbofuran 3 G @ 2 kg a.i./ha.
