Bionematicidal Potentials of Azadirachta indica (A. juss), Vernonia amygdalina (DEL), Manihot esculenta, Carica papaya. L. and Citrus sinensis on Meloidogyne incognita of Capsicum annuum, Var. Bell
Abstract
Plant parasitic nematodes especially Meloidogyne species are linked to global reduction or loss in the yield of agricultural produce. If plant diseases are left unchecked, it could lead to food shortage. Synthetic nematicide could induce toxicity, environmental degradation and are expensive. Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are devastating as it affects many economically important agricultural crops globally. The bionematicidal potential of pepper plant nematode was investigated with five plants (Azadirachta indica, Vernonia amygdalina, Manihot esculenta, Carica papaya. and Citrus sinensis) in a two-phased trial, at concentrations of 20, 30 and 40g within exposure periods of 30, 60 and 90-days. Generally, Compared to the control, all bionematicides similarly showed significant nematotoxocity for both trials with significant difference (p < 0.05). Thus the degrees of nematotoxicity is reported as: A. indica > V. amygdalina > C. sinensis > C. papaya > M. esculentus. Based on the findings of this research, we therefore conclude that the tested plant demonstrated significant levels of nematotoxicity and can be so regarded as Bionematicides.
