Although new nematicides have appeared, the demand for new products less toxic and more efficient for the control of plant-parasitic nematodes are still high. Consequently, studies on natural secondary metabolites from plants, to develop new nematicides, have increased. In this work, nineteen extracts from eleven Brazilian plant species were screened for activity against Meloidogyne incognita. Among them, the extracts of Piterogyne nitens showed a potent nematostatic activity. The alkaloid fraction obtained from the ethanol extract of leaves of P...
