Screening of okra Abelmoschus esculentus genotypes against Meloidogyne incognita Race-1

A study was undertaken to screen ninety-four genotypes of okra for their reaction against root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Race-1). Local recommended okra variety Pusa Swani was included for comparison as susceptible check. The experiment was conducted under glass house conditions. Data revealed that none of the genotype was resistant to M. incognita (race-1). However, thirty genotypes were moderately resistant, thirty four highly susceptible and twenty as susceptible.
