Hatching and mortality of Meloidogyne exigua in extracts and in natural products

The hatching and mortality of Meloidogyne exigua second-stage juveniles (J2) were evaluated after 24 h in aqueous extracts of Bixa orellana, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Petroselium crispum, Piper nigrum, Syzygium aromaticum, Zingiber officinale whey of milk, hidroponic solution, sodium chloride (NaCl) and saccharose aqueous solution, yeast and probiotic (Controlmix®) solutions. The whey of milk, C. zeylanicum, yeast and sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions caused 100% mortality of J2 (P<0,05). Extracts of S. aromaticum and Controlmix® probiotic caused more than 50% mortality of J2 (P<0,05). Hatching was evaluated by placing eggs of M. exigua in those different extracts and products for 16 days. The area under the curve of hatching progress, evaluated at 48 h intervals, showed that all extracts and products caused inhibition as compared to water (P<0,01), except for saccharose and hidroponic solutions. Whey of milk, probiotic, C. zeylanicum and S. aromaticum accounted for greater inhibition, among all the tested extracts and products (P<0,01). As shown, whey of milk and C. zeylanicum extract also caused 100% mortality of J2.
