abstract
The study was conducted to test the efficacy of botanicals to control the reniform nematode infecting cluster bean. Botanicals i.e. Aak (Calotropis procera), Lantana (Lantana camara), Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) were used as seed treatment (ST) @ 5%, 10% and 15% as leaves powder. A standard check (Neem at 10%) and untreated check was also maintained to interpretate experimental findings. The results revealed that Aak (Calotropis procera) significantly improve the plant growth parameters of cluster bean and reduced the infestation of reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis) infecting cluster bean compared to treatments.
