Abstract

A survey was conducted over a period of one year to  estimate the occurrence of root-knot nematode disease  on vegetable crops in six selected villages of  Sangareddy district of Telangana. This survey  indicates that vegetable crops grown in the selected  localities were heavily infested with root-knot  nematodes. Highest frequency of disease occurrence in  which almost all the roots have knot-like appearance  was reported and also soil sampling revealed that crop  showed the significant presence of Meloidogyne  species as a pathogen identified in the vegetable crops.  In all the cropping regions, prominent disease  symptoms were developed as gall formation in the  root region and poor plant growth resulting major  crop yield loss to the farmers.
