Abstract

Seedlings of the hybrid tomato ‘Roma king’ cultivar (cv.) grown in a steam sterilized soil were inoculated with Root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) eggs, under screen house temperature 27±2C. Serially graded inocula of 2, 000, 4, 000, 6, 000, 8, 000 and 10, 000 eggs that hatched from the second stage juvenile (J2) of the root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita, extracted from infested roots of a hybrid okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) were applied around the bases of 12 day-old tomato cv. seedlings. At high inoculums levels of 6, 000, 8, 000 and 10, 000 eggs; flowering, number of leaf, plant height and fruit yield were significantly (p &
