The root knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita are the most serious threats affecting eggplant, Solanum melongena L. Chemical nematicides are commonly used against plant-parasitic nematodes, but due to their negative impact on health and the environment, safe and environmentally friendly alternatives have become increasingly important. Biological control using rhizospheric bacteria metabolites, and plant substances have, emerged as important alternatives to the use of agrochemicals. Recently, nanotechnology has revolutionized nematode management and its effectiveness in biological control. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of Bacillus cereus Nem 212 supernatant and garlic essential oil in their regular and nanoscale forms against M. incognita infecting eggplants CV. Baladi and investigate their impact on plant growth parameters under field conditions. All nano formulations produced higher nematicidal activities compared to their respective original extracts. Garlic oil nano emulsion and garlic oil emulsion were more effective as natural nematicides on M. incognita, and in enhancing eggplant growth parameters, followed by bio- silver nanoparticles synthesized by B. cereus Nem 212 filtrate. These formulations are promising and environmentally friendly alternatives for controlling root knot nematode and have the potential to reduce reliance on hazardous agrochemicals. In addition, these techniques increase vegetative plant growth and yield production.
根结线虫南方根结线虫是影响茄子(Solanum melongena L.)的最严重威胁。化学杀线虫剂常用于防治植物寄生线虫,但由于其对健康和环境的负面影响,安全且环保的替代品变得越来越重要。利用根际细菌代谢物和植物物质进行生物防治已成为使用农用化学品的重要替代方法。最近,纳米技术彻底改变了线虫管理及其生物防治效果。本研究的目的是评估蜡样芽孢杆菌Nem 212上清液和大蒜精油的常规形式和纳米级形式对感染茄子品种巴拉迪的南方根结线虫的防治效果,并研究它们在田间条件下对植物生长参数的影响。与各自的原始提取物相比,所有纳米制剂都产生了更高的杀线虫活性。大蒜油纳米乳液和大蒜油乳液作为天然杀线虫剂对南方根结线虫更有效,并且在促进茄子生长参数方面效果更佳,其次是蜡样芽孢杆菌Nem 212滤液合成的生物银纳米颗粒。这些制剂是防治根结线虫的有前景且环保的替代品,并且有可能减少对有害农用化学品的依赖。此外,这些技术还能促进植物营养生长和提高产量。
