AB  - Evaluation of the effects of different organic manures on root-gall nematode disease on African yam bean was conducted in a sandy loam soil naturally infested with a root-gall nematode<I>, Meloidogyne incognita.  </I>The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with four replications.  African yam bean plants were treated with sawdust, municipal garbage, swine, compost, poultry and farmyard manures at 2.5 tons ha <SUP>1</SUP>.  Results showed that severe root-galls occurred on plants treated with sawdust.  Plants treated with poultry and farmyard manures were rarely galled.  Growth and yield characteristics of the plant were also affected by root-gall damage at the various organic manure treatments.
