- Abstract
Mulberry (Morus alba L.) is the only host plant of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) which is mainly grown for its leaf. The yield of mulberry leaf gets affected by various diseases and among them, root-knot caused by Meloidogyne incognita is one of the major diseases which affects both quantity and quality of leaf. Even though nematicides were reported to provide better control under field conditions, due to their deleterious effect on soil health and possible toxicity to silkworms, eco-friendly approaches to mitigate the root)knot nematode have received greater attention. Various eco-friendly management strategies viz., resistant and tolerant varieties; cultural methods like summer ploughing, soil solarization, trap crops; biological methods like botanicals and biocontrol agents against root-knot nematode infecting mulberry are reviewed and discussed.
