Abstract:Hops are known worldwide for their medicinal and antimicrobial properties, but their applications have been little studied in the field of agriculture. Furthermore, there are few studies about the nematicidal effect of the generated hops residue by the brewing industry. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of a 5% aqueous extract of hops residues in controlling Meloidogyne javanica in tomato plants and assess its impact on soil biological activity. Two experiments were conducted at different times. In bo… Show more
