Abstract

One of the methods for the control of cucumber root-knot nematode is the use of plant extracts, that have nematicidal effect. In this research the anti-nematode activity of some of native plants of Iran have been investigated against cucumber root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in laboratory and greenhouse. Experiments were carried out with extract, oil, concentration and time level using Randomized completely design in laboratory condition and greenhouse. For this purpose, the effect of alcoholic extract of leaf and seed oil of Castor bean, Chinaberry and Rapseed with concentration of 0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 1000 ppm on the percentage of immobility of second stage juveniles and hatching of eggs were evaluated. Then, the investigation these activity was held in greenhouse with adding of extract and oil of plants into pots having infested cucumber seedlings to nematode. The results indicated that all of the plants had anti-nematode activity. Overall alcoholic extracts and oil of Chinaberry and Castor bean had the most effect on immobility of second stage juvenile and unhatching eggs of nematode in laboratory conditions. The greenhouse experiments showed that the alcoholic extract and oil of Chinaberry and Castor bean, although reduced the number of galls and population of nematode in soil, also caused the longitudinal growth of plant.
