Abstract
This study has been made out to check the efficiency of leaves of our wild plants (Melia azedarach, Withania somnifera, Thespesia populnea and Terminalia catappa) as organic amendment for the control of soil borne/root rot fungi ( Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani and Macrophomina phaseolina) and root knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) in okra. Amended leaves of all plant species suppressed the rate of fungi as well as knot formation caused by root knot nematode. Growth of okra plant was also improved after soil amendment. Dry powder of all four tested plants @ 1 and 2 % were found to be more effective than 0.5% concentration
