A study was carried out (2006-2016) on the incidence of ischolar_main knot nematode {Meloidogyne spp.) in major crops being grown in polyhouses in Himachal Pradesh. It was revealed that 83.10 per cent of polyhouses are infested with this nematode. The severity of the nematode was found maximum in cucumber followed by carnation, tomato and sweet pepper and increased with the advancement of growth stages in all the crops under investigation. The 77.50 per cent of nurseries were found to be infested with ischolar_main knot nematode. It was found that 40.44 per cent of the growers have awareness about the nematode as pest in their polyhouses.
