Abstract
Extracts from Tagetes erecta and Cineraria maritima showed good nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne arenaria, M. hapla, and M. javanica, but not on M. incognita. Ruta graveolens had a greater nematicidal effect on all species tested, and in particular the leaf extract was more efficient than fenamiphos. Root leachates showed no nematicidal activity.
