Application of neem seed granules (NSG) @ 0.2 and 0.4% w/w and kernel granules (NSKG) @ 0.1,0.2 and 0.4% w/w to soil significantly reduced the root galling due to Meloidogyne incognita and population density of M. incognita J2 in soil. NSKG reduced root galling of tomato by 33.6, 44.3 and 44.6%, compared to 7.4, 32.3 and 41.9% by NSG at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4%, w/w, respectively with a reduction in galling and decline in M. incognita J2 population in soil. The application of NSG and NSKG also improved the growth of root and shoot of the infected tomato plants.
