Use Of Trichoderma Harzianum And Plant Materials For The Control Of Root-Knot Nematode (Meloidogyne Sp.) On Cowpea
ABSTRACT
Screen house and Microplot experiments were conducted to
investigate the effects of Trichoderma harzianurn, Ageratum conyzo ides,
Manihot esculentus alone and in combination on the control of Root knot nernatode
on cowpea (Ife brown). The experiments were laid out in a Completely Randomized
Design (CRD) with 8 treatments namely Trichoderma harzianum, Age ratum conyzo
ides leaf powder, Manihot esculentus peels, T. harzianum + A. conyzoides leaf
powder, T. harzianum + M esculentus peels, carbofuran, nematode alone and
control (No nernatode, No treatment). The treatments were replicated 5 times.
A. conyzoides leaf powder and M esculenius peels were applied at the rate of
25g each while T. harzianurn and Carbofuran were applied at the rate of 20m1s
and 3.Og ai per plant respectively. Data collected include number of leaves per
plant, fresh root weight(g), fresh shoot weight(g), dry shoot weight(g), number
of pods, weight of pods (g), number of nodules, nematode population in soil and
root, and number of galls. The result of the screen house experiment showed
that Trichoderma harzianum compared favourably with the Carbofuran while from
the microplot, Trichoderma harzianum alone and a combination of A. conyzoides and
Trichodema harzianum compared favourably with the nematicide. These treatments
significantly increased yield (P
