- Abstract
The nematicidal effect of a formulated product containing extract from Quillaja saponaria was evaluated against the root-knot nematodes. The product QL Agri® 35 (QL) was tested to record the effect on second stage juveniles motility, egg hatch and also against field populations in greenhouse experiments contacted in three different locations of Greece. Convulsive movement of second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne incognita was recorded after exposure for 8 days at a series of doses, while the most paralyzed juveniles were counted at the dose of 8 mg l. There was also a gradual decrease in the number of juveniles emerging from egg masses of the same nematode species when the dose of Q. saponaria was increased from 0 to 8 mg l. In greenhouse experiments, the use of Q. saponaria could control root-knot nematodes and prevent nematodes increase in soil. The present study demonstrates that the use of Q. saponaria extract has the ability to control root-knot nematodes. Control given by Q. saponaria in field populations infecting cucumber was similar to that of cadusafos (Rugby®) and oxamyl (Vydate®) under the tested dosages and the specific conditions of the experiments.
