Moneymaker, grown in medium infested with Meloidogyne incognita had on averge more root fresh and dry mass, more shoot fresh and dry mass, more fruit fresh and dry mass and a visible lower root-knot nematode infestation with less nematodes in the roots as compared to the untreated control. (4 or 5 foliar applications were in general the most effective, the soil flush before transplanting was even more effective) (Results only given in graphs).
