abstract
Legume crop production is highly affected by plant parasitic nematodes. In order to work out the loss estimates in cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) attacked by root-knot nematode, M. incognita. An investigation on estimation of avoidable losses on cluster bean was carried out during Kharif 2015 and 2016 with the application of phorate 10 G at 2 kg per ha in soil which is naturally infested with root-knot nematode, M. incognita. Results showed that application of phorate 10 G significantly reduced nematode population and the avoidable losses estimated 42.88 per cent.
