Abstract
Seedlings of Okra Abelmoschus esculentus were inoculated with different numbers of egg masses (0, 4, 8 and 12) of Meloidogyne incognita. The different inoculums elicited varied reactions on the Okra plants. Root galls increased progressively and significantly with increased levels of inoculum. At 0 (zero) inoculum level no root gall was observed. At low inoculum levels, 4 and 8 egg masses, the plants performed seemingly better than the control (in terms of plant dry weight, flower and fruit production). At high inoculum levels very low mean yields of the above parameters were recoded when compared to the control. The implications of enhanced performance observed at low inoculum levels on experimental crops are discoursed.
