Variation in Root Nutrient Content in Different Field Pea Germplasms Infected with Root Knot Nematode

This study was conducted in the Department of Nematology, College of Agriculture, OUAT. The experiment was designed using completely randomized completely randomized design (CRD) with different combinations of root knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) and leguminosarum strain of rhizobium in the three field pea germplasms, which are resistant, moderately resistant and susceptible against the root knot nematode infection. Different combination of interaction between root knot nematode and rhizobium affect the nutrient content likely nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake of the roots of field pea germplasms. Different combination of interaction between root knot nematode and rhizobium shows the decreased trend of nutrient uptake than that of only rhizobium treated plants
