Amelioration of root-knot disease of lady's finger plants by  
potentized Cina and Santonin
N.C. Sukul, S. Ghosh, A. Sukul and S.P. Sinhababu

Lady's finger plants (Hibiscus esculentus), grown in pots, were  
inoculated with the second-stage larvae (76±6) of root-knot nematodes  
Meloidogyne incognita, starting 7 days later they were treated with  
Cina 30c, Santonin 30c or Ethanol 30c by foliar spray for 10  
consecutive days. The drugs in 90% ethanol were diluted with distilled  
water 1:1000 before application on plants. Thirty days after the last  
treatment the plants were uprooted. Cina 30c and Santonin 30c reduced  
nematode infestation of plants significantly in terms of root-gall  
number, root-protein content and nematode population in roots.  
Santonin 30c reduced root water content. Santonin 30c may have  
influenced the water channel proteins of root tissues thereby altering  
the water contents of roots. The reduced water content in roots might  
have adversely affected the root-knot nematodes and thus reduced  
nematode infestation. Ethanol 30c also has some effect on treated  
plants.
