A pathogencity test was conducted against root-knot nematode on Pseuderanthemum atropurpureum. Significant reduction in plant growth was recorded at or above inoculum level of 1000 J2 / plant and hence this level was considered as pathogenic level for P. atropurpureum. It was observed that the nematode population increased with increasing the inoculum level of M. incognita. The maximum nematode population was recorded at highest inoculum level and the minimum population at the lowest inoculum level. The reproduction factor was significantly reduced with the increased in inoculum levels.
