A pot experiment was carried out in the net house of Department of Nematology, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, to study the pathogenicity of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, on tuberose. The study found that as the inoculum level of M. incognita increased from 10 to 10,000 second-stage juveniles (J2) per pot (containing 1 kg of sterilized soil), all plant growth parameters of tuberose decreased progressively. At the highest inoculum level, the plants became severely stunted, chlorotic, and produced very few bulblets. It was noted that at the highest inoculum level, the root systems were significantly reduced, with larger and mostly coalescent galls. The treatments with no nematode (check and associated check) were free from galls and eggmasses. An initial inoculum level of 100 J2 of M.incognita per kg of soil caused significant reduction in all growth parameters and proved to be pathogenic to the tuberose plants. The number of galls and eggmasses increased gradually in the plants with an initial inoculum level of 10 to 1000 J2 of M.incognita per kg of soil, but it declined at highest inoculum level of 10,000 J2 per kg of soil. The experiment also recorded the variation in nematode population in the soil as well as their reproductive rates. These findings can be used to develop effective, targeted methods for minimizing the damage caused by root-knot nematode in tuberose crops.
