Significant achievements	Generated distribution map of plant parasitic nematodes associated with soybean cultivation in India. Cyst nematodes associated with soybean cultivation in India were identified to be pigeon pea cyst nematode, Heterodera cajani. Thus confirmed the absence of soybean cyst nematode. Identified soybean varieties resistant towards cyst (Heterodera cajani) and reniform (Rotylenchulus reniformis) nematodes. Developed application technology of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinerneam theromphilum with regard to its compatibility with bioagents, pesticides, surfactants etc. for their combined application.Reported the synergistic interaction of S. thermophilum with spinosad.Generated the information on interspecific interaction and non target effects of entomopathogenic nematodes. Established field efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes against soybean defoliators. Soybean varieties were screened and identified varieties resistant towards cyst (Heterodera cajani) and reniform (Rotylenchulus reniformis) nematodes. Worked out soil textural preference of reniform nematode. Generated information on the compatibility of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema glaseri with common pesticides used in soybean cultivation. .
