e0“Regardless of concentration, all the extracts significantly increased the host plant growth parameters studied.”
e1“In pot trials with tomato cv. Rio Grande, root and stem extracts at concentrations of 1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm, applied as soil drenches, significantly reduced the number of galls, galling index, eggs masses, eggs and reproduction factor compared with the water control.”

- Observation Fumaria root and stem extracts showed nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne incognita in vitro and in planta.
- Observation Seven classes of bioactive compounds were detected in Fumaria.
- Observation Roots had the highest alkaloid percentage.
- Observation Roots had the highest saponin percentage.
- Observation Stems had total phenolic content of 16·75 ± 0·07 μg dry g −1.
- Intervention effect Root and stem extracts inhibited nematode hatching relative to water controls.
- Intervention effect Root and stem extracts increased nematode juvenile mortality relative to water controls.
- Association Juvenile mortality was directly related to exposure time.
- Association Hatch inhibition was directly related to exposure time.
- Intervention effect Soil drenches of extracts reduced tomato gall and nematode reproduction measures relative to water.
- Observation n-hexane extracts were most active, followed by methanol extracts.
- Recommendation Authors suggest Fumaria root and stem extracts as potential novel nematicides.
