Abstract

Meloidogyne incognita was found to be pathogenic to black pepper causing stunting and yellowing of the plants and reduction in root and shoot weights. Reduced growth of plants and intensity of galling was correlated with the increase in initial nematode population. An initial nematode inoculum level of 10 larvae per plant caused severe damage over a period of one year.
