e0“the blotting paper method was used on tomato seed germination”
e2“Extracts of Alchornea cordifolia, Tithonia diversifolia and Mezoneuron benthamianum were evaluated in vitro and in the nursery at 5 g/l, 15 g/l and 25 g/l”
e1“in vitro the control had the highest average germination rate (98.5%) followed by T. diversifolia (43.03 to 98.5%), A. cordifolia (35.33 to 68.67%) and M. benthamianum (37.66 to 67.55%)”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect In the nursery, T. diversifolia extract gave the highest average treated seed germination in tomato, 38 to 78.33%.
- Intervention effect In the nursery, T. diversifolia extract gave the highest tomato seedling emergence, 12.78 to 38.33%.
- Association Extract type and concentration influenced the number of leaves of tomato plants, 5.38 to 13.21.
- Association Extract type and concentration influenced the height of tomato plants, 5.71 to 15.64 cm.
- Association Extracts were more effective at low concentrations in improving agromorphological parameters of tomato.
- Association Incidence and severity of root galls were reduced at high extract concentrations.
- Intervention effect Root gall incidence was low in treated tomato plants, 0-60%, compared with controls at 100%.
- Association Extracts significantly reduced the severity of root galls in tomato.
- Association Tithonia diversifolia extracts were the most effective in reducing gall severity.
- Recommendation The authors recommend these locally available plants as biofertilizers and as a control method against root-knot nematodes on tomato.
