Population fluctuations of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita during crop season were studied on cucumber in two poly-houses of different locations. For the observations plant and soil samples were taken at fifteen days intervals throughout the crop season up to 120 days. Results showed that lowest 2.60 and highest 74.00 galls/5g roots of cucumber found at 15 and 120 days after sowing. No egg masses observed just 15 days after sowing of crops due to root-knot nematode complete their entire life cycle within 25 to 30 days. While, maximum 63.70 egg masses/5 g roots produced 120 days after sowing. The maximum 317.40 and minimum 264.20 eggs and larvae per egg mass was observed at 30 and 120 days after sowing in cucumber It was observed that egg mass contain found maximum when the population level is lowest and the egg mass contained reduced with increasing in the population of root-knot nematodes. Results also showed that minimum 1347.90 and maximum 2256.90 juveniles per 100 cc soil was found at 15 and 120 days after sowing of cucumber in poly-house.
