ABSTRACT
The nematoxic effect was determined for the extracts of Cyminum spp. (Cuminum cyminum and Nigella sativa) in methanol, chloroform, ether, butanol, and hexane on egg hatching and mortality of the juveniles of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica. After 72 hours, C. cyminum (MeOH) demonstrated the maximum nematicidal activity in egg hatching (15%±2.10) of M. javanica, followed by N. sativa (Ether), 22.33±6.86%, at the lowest administered dose of 0.25 % concentration. After 72 hours of treatment, C. cyminum (MeOH) and N. sativa (BeOH) had a non-significant difference in nematotoxic impact (90.0±10.3, 88.0±7.2 mortality %, respectively) in 1% concentration. According to decreasing order, MeOH>BuOH>Chloroform>ether >Hexane, all fractionates showed positive reactivity and potential.
