| Abstract | ||
| A greenhouse trail was conducted to study the influence of five plant dried leaf powders i.e. cabbage, sorrel, spinach, rocket and tomato in comparing with oxamyl on root-knot nematode M. incognita infecting eggplant under greenhouse conditions. All treatments showed remarkable increase in plant growth parameters as well as reduced nematode criteria. Cabbage dried leaf powder showed higher effectiveness of the tested botanical dried leaf powders and enhanced plant growth parameters with significant increase values. On the other hand, spinach dried leaf powder as soil amendments overwhelmed other treatments in suppressing nematode population in soil (78.3%), root galling number (87.0%), egg-masses (91.5%) and eggs / one gram root (91.5%) respectively. However, the least values of the same nematode criteria was achieved by sorrel treatment with values of 34.0,77.3,90.5 and 89.3 respectively, comparing to nematode alone. The recorded results showed a potential properties of using such plant dried leaf powders as ecofriendly control method instead of chemical pesticides. | ||
