Ten numbers of mulberry (S1635, S36, MR2, RFS 135, DD, C20, Kanwa 2, Srinagar Local, Berhampur Local and Local) varieties/genotypes were investigated under field conditions for their resistance against the ischolar_main-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. Among the ten varieties, only one variety viz., RFS 135 showed resistance response against M. incognita, while the varieties, C20 and DD showed moderate resistant reaction. A positive correlation was observed between the ischolar_main knot nematode resistance and peroxidase enzyme activity in mulberry genotypes.
