Abstract

The effects of nine dry plant parts ground of aromatic and medicinal plants
on reproduction of root-knot nematode infested peanut and in improving the plant
growth were studied under lield condition. Data indicated that the highest reduction In
galls number and population densities were optianed a\ do~e 20 gmJplant from
different ground plant parts (in all treatments). Jojoba gave the highest reduction o(
root-snot Iarvae al harvested XR% (98.3%). Lupine trealment gave the most reduction
percent orr root-garts number (96.2%). Also it reduced the number of egg·masses
whIch product from root-galls (96.6%}. Data oblianed showed that Ihe different ground
