Opis

Present manuscript is an embodiment of original investigations on the efficacy of fertilizer factory effluent on seed germination, plant growth, and root-knot disease development in tomato plants. The chief motive of undertaking these studies is to explore the utility of fertilizer factory liquid wastes in the seed germination and management of root-knot disease in tomato plants. It has been observed earlier that the fertilizer factory effluent (FFE) successfully control root- knot disease development in certain crops. For physiological investigations, five cultivars were studied. It was done mainly to find out the exact concentration of FFE, having fruitful correlation with the seed germination and growth of plants and negative effect on root- knot disease development. Various concentrations (1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50% and 100%) were studied for their efficacy on seed germination, plant growth and productivity of root- knot disease in tomato plants. In all the tomato cultivars, three replicates have been employed to study the biological and root-knot parameters.
