Root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita is one of the major limiting factors affecting plant growth and yield. Currently, synthetic pesticides are principle means used to control the nematodes but organic amendments and biocontrol agents may provide a safer alternatives. A study was conducted to evaluate the nematicidal potential of neem and Bacillus thuringiensis in controlling M. incognita. 5% neem leaf extract @ 10ml/seedling, 10% neem seed extract @ 10ml/seedling, 1.1X 109 CFU/ml Bt formulations alone @ 10ml/seedling and neem+Bt in combination in the ratio1:1 and 2.5% carbofuradan 3-G @ 10ml/seedling to control M. incognita infesting tomato plants. Bare-root-dip treatment with NSE was effective and caused 97.3%, and 120.3% significant increase (p<0.05) in total plant length and total plant weight respectively as compared to the inoculated control.
