Abstract : Sawdusts of neem [Azadirachta indica] and mango [Mangifera indica] reduced populations of Rotylenchulus reniformis on tomatoes and aubergines and Tylenchorhynchus brassicae on cabbages and cauliflowers. Nematode control increased with the increasing dose of sawdust, neem being more effective than mango. The combined effect of sawdust and ammonium sulfate was greater than for either of the separate treatments.
