Influence of some plant extract, chemical and biological agents on Root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica

Abstract

Three plants extracts, Bio-health as bio-control and common nematicide Vaydate have been assayed to know their effect on Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica). Tomato seedlings used as host for nematode infection. Extract of chopped leaves of oleander (Nerium oleander), cloves of garlic (Allium sativum) and roots of Taget (Tagetes erecta) have been used as natural plant extracts. Results revealed that Vaydate was more effective in decreasing infection criteria. Taget and Garlic extracts, were more effective and reduced egg mass and Root-knot than Oleander extract and Bio-health, they have less effect
