Abstract
Root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid et White) Chitw. was found to infest tobacco in Tamil Nadu. The seedlings infested in the nurseries grew poorly and failed to become established when transplanted. Field trials were undertaken to assess the efficacy of carbofuran and aldicarb at two doses in controlling the root-knot nematode.
