Influence Of Inoculum Density Of Root-Knot Nematode [Meloidogyne Incognita (Kofoid And White) Chitwood] And Plant Age On Yield Of Ampalaya (Momordica Charantia L.)

Abstract:

A pot experiment was conducted to determine the most susceptible stage of growth of ampalaya, Momordica charantia L. to the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita infestation and the inoculum density of the nematode that could affect the yield,
