Abstract
In a crop rotation trial, Pueraria phaseoloides, a mixture of Crotalaria usaramoensis and C.retusa, groundnut and Panicum maximum grown for different lengths of time on land heavily infested by Meloidogyne incognita were followed by egg-plant.
Populations of nematodes decreased sharply in soil grown with Crotalaria, groundnut, and Panicum whereas Pueraria maintained high levels of Meloidogyne. After a period of 18 months egg-plant grown following Crotalaria, groundnut and Panicum were free of Meloidogyne. The results of this trial are applied in a pilot project in which vegetable growing and sheep breeding on Panicum are combined.
