Patent / Technologies / Methodologies / System etc. (Upto Five) :

  1. Combination of toxic and egg-parasitic fungus have been found more effective method in controlling root-knot nematode population under microplot and field condition in case of vegetables.
  1. Validated a �novel technology� package using organic amendments, fungal bioagents (Talc formulation) and nematicides for the integrated nematode management of root-knot nematode and disease causing fungi in vegetables
  1. Use of chopped Calotropis leaves in integarted nematode management is an ecofriendly, efficient and affordable method of nematode control.
