For the management of Earcockle and Tundu diseases, put the contaminated seed in plain water or 10% salt solution (followed by 2-3 washings in plain water). Remove the floating galls with a sieve, dry healthy seeds in shade before sowing. 

For the management of Molya disease:
o Two to three deep ploughings during May/June at 10-15 days’ interval.
o Rotation of wheat/barley with mustard or gram for 1-2 years.
o Grow resistant barley var. BH 393, BH 75/wheat var. Raj MR-1.
o Early sowing of wheat (up to 15th November).
o In heavy infestation, application of carbofuran @ 1 kg/ha at sowing.
o Seed treatment with Azotobacter chrocooccum HT-54 (Azotica) @ 50 ml/10 kg seed. Dry in shade.

Application of carbofuran @ 1 kg/ha at nursery sowing for the management of rice root nematode.

For the management of root-knot disease in tomato, brinjal, okra: 

  • Two to three deep ploughings during May/June at 10-15 days’ interval. 
  • Application of carbofuran @ 1 kg/ha at nursery sowing (except okra). 
  • Grow root-knot nematode resistant variety Hisar Lalit of tomato. 
  • Soil application of Trichoderma viride @ 2.5 kg/ha at the time of sowing of okra.

Application of carbofuran @ 13 g/m2 (about 9 m2 around a plant) just before flowering; pulverize the soil in the basin area and mix the chemical thoroughly followed by flood irrigation for the management of citrus nematode. 

Application of carbofuran @ 7 g/m2 + 1 kg neem cake (about 9 m2 around a plant) just before flowering; pulverize the soil in the basin area and mix the chemical thoroughly followed by flood irrigation for the management of citrus nematode.

  • Application of carbofuran @ 13 g/m2 (about 9 m2 around a plant) just before flowering; pulverize the soil in the basin area and mix the chemical thoroughly followed by flood irrigation for the management of root-knot nematode. 
  • Application of carbofuran @ 7 g/m2 in combination with garlic as intercrop in between vine rows for the management of root-knot nematode.

For the management of Aphelenchoides spp. apply 4% (w/v) Neem Seed Kernel Extract (NSKE) at spawning @ 7.5 lt per q compost as prophylactic measure.

For the management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita seed treatment with Gluconoacetobacter diazotrophicus strain 35-47 (Biotica) @ 50 ml per 5 kg seed. Dry in shade

For the management of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. application of neem cake @ 30 g/spot + seed treatment with Gluconoacetobacter diazotrophicus strain 35-47 @ 50 ml/2 kg seed.

  • Soil solarization by 2-3 deep summer ploughings in the month of May-June at 15 days interval followed by light irrigation and covering of soil with 25 micron transparent polythene sheet for 30 days during June-July for the management of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). 
  • Soil application of Trichoderma viride @ 20 g/m2, mixed with neem cake/FYM/Vermicompost @100 g/ m2 in the beds for the management of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) in tomato.
