Nematodes are a serious problem across pomegranate-growing areas worldwide, but the
severity is higher in light sandy soils of arid regions. The present study was carried out to explore
the integrated approaches for the control of nematodes in pomegranate. Three different experiments
were carried out during 2017–2020 to (a) delineate nematode abundance in major pomegranate
areas, (b) screen pomegranate genotypes against nematode, and (c) assess the efficacy of integrated
management for the control of root knot nematode in pomegranate. The survey results revealed that
none of the pomegranate orchards were found to be free from nematode infestation. Moreover, the
majority of the orchards (78%) showed moderate incidence (10.1 to 40%) of infestation. A significant
yield reduction (40.2%) and a decrease in fruit size was observed in nematode-affected trees. Pattern of
cuticular markings in the perineal area of the mature female confirmed the occurrence of Meloidogyne
incognita only in all the surveyed orchard of pomegranate. All the evaluated genotypes and varieties
were found susceptible to root knot nematodes, but the severity of the attack varied among them.
Hence, more detailed screening is needed on a larger population. Nematode population (number of
galls g􀀀1 root) can be minimized significantly with the combined applications of Carbofuran at 20 g +
Fluensulfone at 20 g per plant or Neemcake 500 g + Paecilomyceslilacinus at 25 mL + Carbofuran at
20 g + Fluensulfone at 20 g per plant in April and August.
