The article presents a study on the effect of macroalgae extracts on the hatching of plant-parasitic nematode eggs. Four types of macroalgae were used: U. lactuca, U. clathrata, Gracilaria spp., and Sargassum spp. The results showed that U. clathrata and U. lactuca extracts had the greatest inhibitory effect on egg hatching, followed by Gracilaria spp. and Sargassum spp. extracts. In addition, phytochemical analyses of the macroalgae were conducted to determine the possible compounds responsible for their nematicidal activity. The results suggest that macroalgae extracts could be used as a natural alternative for the control of plant-parasitic nematodes.
