The field experiment was conducted in the field of Department of Nematology located at Instructional-cum-Research Farm, AAU, Jorhat during the rabi season of 2017 to study the efficacy of Glomus fasciculatum, Org-Trichojal, vermicompost and carbofuran 3G in the management of M. incognita on Ivy gourd. The experiment was laid out in the plots of an area of 3.5m × 3.0m infested with M. incognita.Plots were prepared and recommended doses of manures and fertilizers were applied. carbofuran 3Gand liquid formulation of Org-Trichojal were applied in the spots at the time of planting in the respective treatment plots. Ivy gourd cuttings were planted in spots at a spacing of 1.5m x 1.5m (pit to pit). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with treatments and each treatment was replicated three times. The different treatments: T1= Glomus fasciculatum @ 600 spores/m², T2 = Org-Trichojal (5ml/1kg of vermicompost) @ 2 l/ha, T3 = Vermicompost @ 2.5t/ha, T4 = Glomus fasciculatum @ 300 spores/m²+ vermicompost@ 1.25t/ha, T5 = Org-Trichojal 1 l/ha+ vermicompost @ 1.25t/ha, T6 = Org-Trichojal@ 1 l/ha+ Glomus fasciculatum @ 300 spores/m², T7 = Glomus fasciculatum @ 300 spores/m²+ Org-Trichojal @ 1 l/ha+ vermicompost @ 1.25t/ha, T8 = Carbofuran 3G @ 1 kg a.i/ha prior to planting of cuttings, T9 = Control. The result of the field data revealed thatmaximum plant growth parameters viz., fresh weight of shoot, dry weight of shoot, fresh weight of root and dry weight of root, number of fruits and yield per plot whereas minimum root-knot index and nematode population over control were recordedin the treatment with G. fasciculatum@ 300spores/m2 + Org-Trichojal @ 1 l/ha + vermicompost @ 1.25t/ha.
