Effect of aqueous plant extracts on motility and mortality of second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne incognita (kofoid and white 1919) chitwood 1949

The in vitro study of some plant extracts garlic, ginger, mint, marigold and eucalyptus on the motility and mortality of second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne incognita. All plant extracts reduced the motility and induced the mortality of the nematode. With all the extracts mortality increased with the increase of exposure time and concentration. Highest mortality 53.46% was occurred at 15% concentration of aqueous garlic extract within 72 hours and lowest at 25% concentration of aqueous marigold extract within 12 hours. Mint resulted in more than 50% non motile J2 in all tested concentrations at 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours respectively.
