Abstract: |
Nematode infestation in tomato grown under plastic house conditions year after year is appearing as a major limiting factor in western hills of Nepal. The two different types of experiments were carried out in two consecutive years, 2009 and 2010 at Agriculture Research Station (ARS), Malepatan, Pokhara and farmers’ field of Arukharka, Syangja. The objectives of the experiments were to find out the reaction of available rootstocks to root-knot nematode and to verify the fruit yield of grafted tomato. Chilli pp02337-7502, wild eggplant (Solanum sisymbriifolium), Bihi (Solanum torvum) were found resistant to root knot nematodes under inoculated conditions. The fruit yield increased by 22 to 38% in grafted tomato plants over non-grafted plants. The wild eggplant S. sisymbriifolium was found the promising resistant rootstock to adopt grafting practice for the control of root knot nematodes (RKN). However, local Bihi (S. torvum) could be another alternative root stock against RKN and grafting technology might be the best alternative measure to grow tomatoes in nematode prone areas. |
