Abstract

Plant parasitic nematodes associated with pigeonpea and chickpea in Akola, Amravati, Buldhana, Yavatmal and Wardha districts in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, India were observed and recorded. Based on population densities and extent of occurrence, Heterodera cajani and Rotylenchulus reniformis were important on pigeonpea, and Pratylenchus spp. and R. reniformis on chickpea. The root-knot nematodes were not important on these crops in Vidarbha. H. cajani was virtually absent in locations where sesamum, rice, cotton or vegetables were cultivated in the rainy season and chickpea in the post-rainy season. The vegetable-chickpea cropping system greatly favoured build-up of of the lesion (Pratylenchus spp.) and R. reniform nematodes.
