Nematicidal Activities of 15 Kinds of Chinese Herb Extracts against Root-knot Nematode of Achyranthes bidentata
The nematicidal activities of the water-soluble extracts from 15 kinds of Chinese herbs against root-knot nematode of Achyranthes bidentata Bl. Were investigated. The results showed that the activities of extracts from 15 plant species belonging to 13 families against the 2nd instar larvae and eggs of root-knot nematode were significant. Cynanchum paniculatum (Bunge) Kitaga-wa, Dioscorea zingiberensis C. H. Wright, Camptotheca acuminate Decne. And Veratrum nigrum L. Caused the corrected mortalities of 2nd instar larvae within 72 h of 95. 46%,95. 00%,91. 79% and 90. 47% , respectively. The hatching inhibition rates of eggs were 94. 30 % ,94. 13% ,90. 89 % and 91. 13% within 30 days and the corrected mortalities of eggs were 80. 40%, 82. 23%, 75. 54% ,and 78. 87% ,respectively. The nematicidal activities of the extracts from C. Paniculatum (Bunge)Kitagawa,D. Zingiberensis C. H. Wright,C. Acuminate Decne. And V. Nigrum L. Were bet-ter than those of others.
