Thippali, Piper longum, an important medicinal plant belonging to the family Piperaceae. An increase in ischolar_main knot nematode attack was observed in thippaligrowing plots. Pot culture experiments were conducted to study the management of ischolar_main knot nematode infesting thippali using bioagents, organic amendments, botanical extract and chemicals. The effect of various treatments on shoot, ischolar_main characters and nematode population were evaluated. The control of ischolar_main knot nematode achieved by application of Bacillus subtilis was superior to all other treatments. The ischolar_main knot nematode population in P. longum could be effectively managed using the bio agents.

The effect of various treatments on shoot, ischolar_main characters and nematode population were evaluated. The control of ischolar_main knot nematode achieved by application of Bacillus subtilis was superior to all other treatments.
