Screening of tomato cultivars in the presence of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica

In the present study, 12 varieties of tomato, viz., Arka Vikas, Damayanti, F-hybrid, Hybrid Padmarag, Hybrid Tripti, Marudam, Punjab chhoara, Pusa early dwarf, Punjab kesari, P.K.M.I, Roma and Pusa Ruby were screened for the presence of the root-knot nematode, M. javanica to obtain information on the varying degrees of resistances to tomato cultivars. All the cultivars of tomato tested were found to be infected with the root-knot nematode, M. javanica, however, to a varying extent. Consequently, there was a reduction in the growth parameters of cultivars leading to have an impact on the yield and quality of fruits. The cultivar, Marudam was found resistant while the cultivar the Pusa early dwarf was moderately resistant and rest of the 10 cultivars was highly susceptible.
