Abstract
Tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., is often found infested and stunted by root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., in Sri Lanka. Trials were therefore undertaken to investigate the control of Meloidogyne javanica (Treub) Chitw. with different nematicides and the effect on plant growth and yield.
