The field experiment was conducted to assess the avoidable yield loss due to root knot nematode in ridge gourd (cv. Konkan Harita) with two treatments including an untreated control. In treated treatment, carbofuran 3 G was applied in the soil @ 2 kga.i./ha. The observations on soil nematode population per plot, number of root galls/egg masses and yield per plot at termination of the experiment were recorded. The results indicated that the avoidable loss in the yield of ridge gourd was recorded to be 21.10 per cent, when the crop was treated with carbofuran 3 G at 2 kga.i./ha. The avoidable loss in the yield of ridge gourd ranged from 16.32 to 28.64 per cent.
