Assessment of Yield Loss Due to Rice Root - Knot Nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola in Aerobic Rice

Abstract

Field studies were conducted in 2012 and 2013 to determine yield loss of rice under aerobic rice cultivation due to natural infestation by Meloidogyne graminicola. The yield loss due to M. graminicola was assessed as 26.36 and 41.8 per cent during two seasons in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Keywords: Carbofuran; Meloidogyne graminicola; root-knot nematode; rice; yield loss.
