Addition of dried chopped portions of Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum), rice (Oryza sativa), marigold (Tagetes erecta), thevita (Thevetia nerifolia) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) @ 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% w/w reduced the number of egg masses and galls of Meloidogyne incognita on roots of sunflower. T. erecta and T. nerifolia were most effective amendments. Better plant growth was observed where either T. nerifolia or T. alexandrinum was used. Use of O. sativa or T. aestivum at higher doses was phytotoxic.
