Influence of Fly Ash on Phytonematodes

S. Ramakrishnan, E. I. Jonathan, S. P. Deepa

Abstract


Literaturescanned pertaining to the influence of flyash on phytonematodes revealed thatvarious dosage of flyash had effect to suppress Meloidogyne spp. and nematode fungal disease complex in many crops.The flyash demonstrated to be compatable with other beneficial organisms of Pseudomonas spp. Rhizobium, Glomus sp etc.The application of flyash leading to alterations in physiochemicalcharacteristics of soil, enhancement of availability of nutrients, liberationof excess salts, nutrients and heavy metals are attributed as mechanism in themanagement of nematodes and fungal pathogens affecting crops.

Keywords
