- Abstract
Experiments were conducted to determine the efficacy of various vermicomposts produced from agro- and distillation-waste of medicinal and aromatic crops on hatching of eggs of Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood and root-knot disease development in tomato. Results revealed that considerable inhibition in hatching of eggs occurs in the aqueous extracts of vermicompost produced from wastes of menthol mint (Mentha arvensis), chamomile (Matricaria recutita), geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), qinghao (Artemisia annua) followed by pyrethrum (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium), isabgol (Plantago ovata), African marigold (Tagetes minuta), Boerhavia (Boerhavia diffusa), mustard (Brassica compestris), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) and garden mint (Mentha viridis). In a pot experiment, vermicomposts of menthol mint, African marigold, qinghao, isabgol and pyrethrum effectively reduced the root-knot infection in tomato.
