Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nematocidal effects of natural phytoregulators jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl-jasmonate (MJ) against plant parasitic nematodes Pratylenchus zeae (Graham) (Pratylenchidae) and Helicotylenchus spp. (Hoplolaimidae). Both JA and MJ promoted elevated percentages of mortality in P. zeae and Helicotylenchus spp. after 12 and 24 h of nematodes exposition at different concentrations of jasmonates. Considering the potential use of jasmonates as biofertiliser added now for their nematocidal effects, our results are of relevance in terms of biotechnological application.
