Nematicidal principles from two species of lamiaceae

A Chatterjee et al. J Nematol. 1982 Jan.

Abstract

Aqueous extracts of Ocimum sanctum and O. basilicum leaves contained compounds that killed Meloidogyne incognita larvae in 160 min. Thin layer and gas-liquid chromatography, and infrared spectrophotometry indicated that the essential oils eugenol and linalool were the active nematicidal compounds.

Keywords: allelochemics; essential oils; root-knot nematodes.
