  The experiments were conducted to study the efficacy of fodder radish (Raphanus sativus var. Terranovah) and rocket salad (Eruca sativa cv. Baladi) as biofumigation crops for controlling root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp., on tomato plants during two successive seasons 2017 and 2018 under field conditions. Three months after cultivation of fodder radish, and rocket salad (the full blooming stage) all parts were incorporated with soil and covered with a transparent polyethylene film. After 4 weeks, the plastic sheets were removed and soil was left for two weeks later, before transplanting tomato seedlings. Results in both seasons, indicated significant reduction (p≤0.05) of nematode parameters on tomato plants. Results revealed that effect of R. sativus var. Terranovah as biofumigation crop as indicated by the percentage reduction in number of g.. View more»
