Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study contucted to "investigate whether sting nematodes can be controlled by applying selected plant extracts to soil, and determine whether irrigation would enhance the effectiveness of sting nematodes control by plant extracts." Details methods and materaials used in the study, stating that "mature specimens of spotted spurge (Chamaesyce maculata L. Small), poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherima Willd. Freedom Red), lantana (Lantana camara v. Hybrida), tall lettuce (Lactuca canadensis L.) and goldenrod (Solidago altissima L. v. scabra), plus a seed meal extract from wild mustard (Brassica juncea v. Pacific Gold [BSM]) were used in a preliminary laboratory screening study to expose nematodes to extract of either shoot or roots of each plant species." Explains that "treatment preparations via plant extract maceration and filtration was performed according to standard methods, where the solutions were filtered to the 0.2-micromenter level." Reports that "all treatments increased the mortality of sting nematode populations following a five-day exposure to the selected plant extracts...A small portion of the untreated nematode population (6%) died. The remaining untreated population (94%) was alive and appeared healthy. All treatments significantly reduced the population after the five-day treatment period." Concludes that "of the plant extracts evaluated in this study, wild mustard extracts appear to have greater potential to reduce sting nematode populations because of the immediacy with which these populations because of the immediacy with which these compounds affect this sting nematode species." |
