INFLUENCE OF ROOT-GALL NEMATODE DISEASE ON MUCILAGINOUS PROPERTY AND NUTRIENT COMPOSITION OF OKRA (Abelmoschus esculentus L. moench)

Key Points

• Altered mucilaginous property is observed in okra afflicted by root-gall nematodes, indicating disease impact.
• Disease presence leads to a decline in nutrient composition, affecting the overall quality of okra.
• Analysis method involved assessing changes in soil nutrients correlated with nematode infestations in okra plants.
• Understanding these effects is crucial for managing plant health and ensuring optimal yields.
