AbstractThe current study was assumed to identify the novel nematicidal activity of chloroform and methanol (50:50, v/v) seed extracts of eight medicinally important plants viz. Abrus precatorius Linn., Amaranthus virdis Linn., Bunium persicum Boiss., Dioscorea deltoidea Wall. Ex Griseb., Teraxacum officinale Weber., Malva neglecta Wall., Podophylum hexandrum Royle and Robina pseudoacacia Linn. using the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita in in vitro and greenhouse experiments. At 72 h exposure, the extracts were found to be highly nematostatic, where nematodes were completely paralyzed at 12 and 48 h of exposure. However, dominant mortality was observed by T. officinale 93.67% and B. persicum 89.66% seed extracts at 72 h. In greenhouse method, extracts of T. officinale and B. persicum extracts were found to be most potent in reducing number of galls (1.76 and 2.37) and number of egg masses (0.06 and 2.18) respectively as compared to inoculated control. The root knot index of all extracts varied between 1–3 and egg mass index 0–3 as compared to control. This study suggested that seed extracts of these plants can be used for the management of M. incognita and could be used in replacement of synthetic nematicides upon further isolation and purification of bioactive substance responsible for nematicidal activity.

The nematicidal activity of four molecular weights (2.27 &times; 10<sup>5</sup>, 3.60 &times; 10<sup>5</sup>, 5.97 &times; 10<sup>5</sup>, and 9.47 &times; 10<sup>5</sup> g/mol) of a biopolymer chitosan was assayed against the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, in vitro and in pot experiments. In laboratory assays, the nematode mortality was significantly influenced by exposure times and chitosan molecular weight. Low molecular weight chitosan (2.27 &times; 10<sup>5</sup> g/mol) was the most effective in killing the nematode with EC<sub>50</sub> of 283.47 and 124.90 mg/l after 24 and 48 h of treatment, respectively. In a greenhouse bioassay, all the compounds mixed in soil at one- and five-fold concentrations of the LC<sub>50</sub> value significantly reduced population, egg mass, and root galling of tomato seedlings compared with the untreated control. In general, the nematicidal activity of these compounds was increased dramatically with a decrease in the molecular weight. The results suggest that the chitosan at low molecular weight may serve as a natural nematicide

Abstract Nematicidal activity of seed extracts of eight medicinally important plants viz. Abrus precatorius Linn., Amaranthus virdis Linn., Bunium persicum Boiss., Dioscorea deltoidea Wall. Ex Griseb., Teraxacum officinale Weber., Malva neglecta Wall., Podophylum hexandrum Royle and Robina pseudoacacia Linn. against Meloidogyne incognita was evaluated in vitro at (24, 48 and 72 h) and greenhouse method. After 48 h of exposure, the in vitro results of second stage juveniles (J2s) displayed almost all extracts possess positive effects on J2 mortality. However, dominant mortality was observed by T. officinale 93.67% and B. persicum 89.66% at 72 h exposure. In case of greenhouse effect extracts of T. officinale and B. persicum reduced infestation as compared to inoculated control. The root knot index varied between 1-3 and egg mass index 0-3 as compared to control. This study suggested that seed extracts of these plants can be used for the management of M. incognita and could be used in replacement of synthetic nematicides.

Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 is an antagonistic bacterial strain that was previously isolated from the rhizosphere soil of pepper and showed an enhanced ability to produce lytic enzymes as well as an antibiotic that was identified as 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (4-HPAA). In the present study, nematicidal activity of the strain and 4-HPAA against the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, causing disease in tomato was investigated in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. For this purpose, adding different concentrations of culture filtrate, crude extract collected from extraction with ethyl acetate and 4-HPAA, in 24-well plates containing ca 500 eggs or 300 second-stage juveniles (J2), significantly decreased the rate of nematode hatch and caused higher mortality of J2 compared with the control treatments. Nematicidal activity of the bacterial strain was further confirmed by conducting pot experiments in which tomato plants were inoculated with M. incognita and the HS124 culture (BC). The control pots were treated with commercial nematicide (CN, 5% Ethoprophos), tap water (TW) or the non-inoculated bacterial culture medium (BCM). In these pot experiments, results demonstrated a strong antagonistic potential of L. antibioticus HS124 against M. incognita where the disease was significantly reduced in the pots treated with BC as compared to TW or BCM. Furthermore, the shoot fresh weight was also increased significantly, which may be attributed to the disease control ability of the strain. Hence, L. antibioticus HS124 may be further developed as a potential biocontrol of root knot nematode in the field.

Summary Avermectins and spinosyns are structurally related natural products of microbial origin and belong to a new family of macrolides which are active against a vast array of invertebrate pests. In the present study, the effects of four members of macrolides; abamectin (ABM), emamectin benzoate (EMB), spinosad (SPI) and spinetoram (SPIT), on Meloidogyne incognita were investigated under in vitro and in vivo conditions. All compounds reduced egg hatching and led to high mortality of the nematode second-stage juveniles (J2). ABM showed the maximum rate of egg hatching inhibition and J2 mortality while SPIT recorded the minimum. All treatments reduced the number of galls, egg masses, eggs/egg mass in roots and J2 in the soil when compared to the control. Based on the 10 folds of the 24 h-LC50 values of J2 mortality in vitro, EMB and ABM exhibited higher percent reduction in galls (79.68 and 71.45%), egg masses (75.19 and 70.54%), eggs/egg mass (60.49 and 40.91%) and J2 in the soil (90.31 and 86.54%), respectively, compared to SPI and SPIT. Significant increase in tomato shoot height occurred in all biopesticides (10 folds) and SPIT (20 folds). SPI at 10 folds of the 24 h-LC50 values of J2 mortality in vitro, significantly increased root length while ABM at 50 folds and SPIT at 20 folds decreased root length by 5.15% and 5.88%, respectively, compared to the untreated inoculated plants. In all treatments, the dry shoot and root weights increased, compared to the untreated control. Our findings suggest that these macrolides have the ability to regulate nematode population densities and may be an alternative to classical nematicides.

Nematicidal activity of 22 monoterpenoids were evaluated in vitro and in pot experiments. Twenty of the twenty-two monoterpenoids significantly reduced hatching, and 11 reduced J2 mobility of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita at a concentration of 250 mg/liter. In general, compounds with hydroxyl and carbonyl groups exhibited higher nematicidal activity than other terpenoids. Borneol, carveol, citral, geraniol, and α-terpineol showed the highest nematicidal activity among the in vitro tested monoterpenoids. These compounds exhibited a dose dependent effect, and drastically reduced eggs hatching and J2 viability at low concentrations. These monoterpenoids, at 100 and 250 mg/kg concentration, diminished root galling of tomato plants in pot experiments. The results suggest that the selected monoterpenoids, and essential oils with high concentration of these compounds, are potential nematicides against Meloidogyne.

Summary Alkaloids and alkaloid-producing plants have the potential to reduce crop damage by plant-parasitic nematodes. In a series of in vitro experiments, the nematicidal activity of the tropane alkaloids, hyoscyamine and scopolamine, and a mixture of both on the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, was tested. Solutions of 16 mg of compound per ml of solvent were used in concentrations of 80-1280 μg ml−1 of water. Inactivity of second-stage juveniles of M. incognita increased with increasing concentration and exposure time. Lethal concentrations (LC50) after 120 min of exposure ranged from 182.4 μg ml−1 for scopolamine to 318.4 μg ml−1 for hyoscyamine and 332.8 μg ml−1 for the combination of both alkaloids. Similarly, the same concentrations of scopolamine inhibited hatching of M. incognita to a greater extent than hyoscyamine. In a glasshouse experiment, M. incognita was not able to penetrate the roots, induce galls and reproduce on Datura stramonium, D. innoxia and D. tatula. Results indicate that the tropane alkaloids hyoscyamine and scopolamine contained in Datura plants express a strong nematicidal activity against M. incognita and could possibly be used for an alternative and sustainable nematode management.

The present study was carried out to analyze the potential of fungi isolated from the rhizosphere of soybean, brinjal, tomato, and potato plants. The density of fungi varied in the pot soil and rhizosphere after Paecilomyces formosus MD12 treatment. The P. formosus MD12 population was 6.3 ± 0.13 × 104 CFU g−1 in the pot planted with brinjal, and the population increased in the rhizosphere (6.72 ± 0.41 × 104 CFU g−1). P. formosus MD12 was cultured in the production medium, and the supernatant was used for egg inhibition studies on a root-knot nematode parasite, Meloidogyne incognita. It was revealed that maximum egg inhibition (94.7 ± 6.2%) was obtained at 100% concentration of extract. The culture supernatant from P. formosus MD12 affected the development of M. incognita juvenile, and the mortality rate was maximum after 96 h (95 ± 6%). Mortality was reduced when treated with 25%, 50%, and 75% supernatant. At 1 × 107 mL−1 of spore suspension, we found reductions of 71.6 ± 3.3% nematode populations in the soil, 60.7 ± 2.2% from the root, and 63.6 ± 2.4% egg mass compared with the control in the pot experiment. The culture supernatant applied at the 10% level showed a maximum mean reduction of the nematode population in roots (72.4 ± 2.2%), soil (77.9 ± 2.5%), and egg masses (73.2 ± 1.5%), respectively. The presence of P. formosus MD12 in a soil environment could antagonize nematode parasites and improve soil amendment. The P. formosus MD12 strain showed good biocontrol ability against the root-knot nematode, M. incognita, under in vitro and green house experimental condition.

The nematicidal activity of Terminalia nigrovenulosa bark (TNB) and its purified compound were assayed against Meloidogyne incognita in vitro. The nematicidal compound was isolated from TNB using silica gel column and Sephadex LH-20 chromatography combined with thin-layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. Structural identification of the nematicidal compound was conducted using 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C-NMR and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. We found that the nematicidal compound purified from TNB was gallic acid (GA) or 3,4,5-trihydroxy benzoic acid. Nematicidal activity bioassays revealed that GA treatment resulted in 20.3, 37.5, 73.3, 88.3 and 95.8% hatch inhibition at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg ml−1 after 3 days, respectively, of incubation. Eggshells appeared to be deformed and destroyed at 2 and 3 days after incubation with a GA concentration of 1.0 mg ml−1, respectively. Additionally, after treatment with a GA concentration of 1.0 mg ml−1, mortality of second-stage juveniles of M. incognita was 65.0, 75.0, 96.7 and 100% at 3, 6, 9 and 12 h incubation, respectively.

Root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita is a soil-borne pathogen in plantation crops. Tea, coffee, pepper, tobacco, and patchouli plant have been reported as host of this nematode. Environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and effective technique is required to control the population of M. incognita. Utilization of tithonia plant as botanical nematicide is an alternative solution needs to be applied. A total of 1:10 (w/v) of leaves, stems, and flowers of tithonia was boiled. Further, the decoction was used in the in vitro mortality test of J2 of M. incognita. The result showed that decoction of leaves, stems, and flowers of tithonia at various concentrations led to nematicidal effect against M. incognita. Best performance of nematicidal activity was found in the decoction of flowers at a concentration of 50%. This study provides new information concerning nematicidal effect of decoction of leaves, stems, and flowers of tithonia against M. incognita.

This study was conducted to evaluate the nematicidal potential of Paenibacillus elgii strain HOA73 against the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. The novel strain HOA73 (GenBank accession number JQ12069) produced hydrolytic enzymes including gelatinase and chitinase. Exposure of M. incognita to various concentrations (10-30%) of the bacterial culture filtrate (BCF) or 0.05-0.4 mg ml−1 of the crude enzymes produced by P. elgii HOA73 significantly reduced hatch of the second-stage juvenile (J2) and caused substantial mortality under in vitro conditions. The hatch inhibition and J2 mortality rate was enhanced with the increase in the concentration of BCF and the crude enzymes. Similarly, the antagonistic effects also increased significantly over the time for which the treatments were given. Moreover, the crude enzymes partially destroyed cuticle layers of eggs and juveniles at 0.4 mg ml−1 concentration. Furthermore, the pot experiment indicated that addition of HOA73 culture into potted soil significantly reduced the root galling, number of egg masses and nematode population by 62.1%, 69.8% and 53.0%, respectively, as compared to the control at 7 weeks after M. incognita infestation. HOA73 inoculation also promoted tomato plant fresh shoot weight by 17.9% as compared to control. Hence, the present results demonstrated the ability of P. elgii HOA73 as a potential biocontrol candidate against the root-knot nematode as well as a plant growth promoter for tomato.
