An experiment to assess the Nematotoxic effects of poultry droppings, cow dung, and goat dung in the suppression of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp) infection on eggplant during the 2023 wet season at the Teaching and Research Farm, Federal University Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria. The experiment was laid out on a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), which consisted of three organic manures (Poultry dropping, Goat dung, and Cow dung) at different rates of 1.2t/ha, 1.8t/ha, 2.4t/ha, 3t/ha and control at 0%/ha. The experiment revealed that the application of these organic manures improved the number of leaves per plant, stem girth, root length, yield parameters, and most especially suppressed nematode population. Interestingly, the application of Poultry droppings at 2.4 t/ha recorded a highly significant (P≤0.05) effect in the suppression of root galls and enhanced growth and yield of the eggplant. The result of the study further confirmed the nematotoxic potential of poultry droppings in the suppression of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp).
