“…Additional or alternative mechanisms, such as a competition for nutrients and space or the synthesis of nematicidal microbial metabolites have been also suggested [57][58][59]. The nematicidal effectiveness of chitosan products was generally attributed to the induction of a local or systemic plant resistance [60], though an enhancement of nematode-suppressive rhizospheric bacteria and fungi has been also hypothesized [36,40].…”

“…Most of the microbial biostimulants reported as active on phytoparasitic nematodes were formulations of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [34,35]. Suppressiveness to root-knot nematodes of these products, either alone or combined with other microorganisms or plant extracts, was documented both in field and greenhouse [36][37][38][39]. Moreover, their activity was demonstrated also on other phytonematode parasites, such as Nacobbus aberrans Thorne et Allen or Helicotylenchus multicinctus (Cobb) Golden on field banana and greenhouse tomato, respectively [40,41].…”

The parasitism of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., can cause heavy yield losses to vegetable crops. Plant biostimulants are often reported for a side-suppressive effect on these pests and many commercial products are increasingly included in sustainable nematode control strategies. Source materials of most biostimulants derived from plant or seaweed raw materials were documented for a reliable suppression of root-knot nematode species, whereas the suppressiveness of microbial biostimulants was found largely variable, as related to the crop and to environmental factors. Chitosan-based biostimulants were also stated for a variable phytonematode suppression, though clearly demonstrated only by a few number of studies. In a preliminary experimental case study, four commercial biostimulants based on quillay extract (QE), sesame oil (SO), seaweeds (SE), or neem seed cake (NC) were comparatively investigated for their effects against the root-knot nematode M. incognita on potted tomato. Soil treatments with all the four biostimulants resulted in a significant reduction of nematode eggs and galls on tomato roots, though NC and SO were significantly more suppressive than QE or SE. In addition, almost all biostimulant treatments also resulted in a significant improvement of tomato growth compared to the non-treated control. These preliminary results seem to confirm the literature data and clearly indicate the potential role of biostimulants for a safe nematode management both in organic and integrated crop systems.

“…Q. amara is a plant belonging to the Simaroubaceae family, and it is a renowned natural pesticide and digestive (Raji and Oloyede 2011;Flor-Peregrín et al 2017). In particular, it is shown to act as a potential treatment against varroosis (Esquivel et al 2014).…”

The honey bee is an important pollinator insect susceptible to environmental contaminants. We investigated the effects of a waste fire event on elemental content, oxidative stress, and metabolic response in bees fed different nutrients (probiotics, Quassia amara, and placebo). The level of the elements was also investigated in honey and beeswax. Our data show a general increase in elemental concentrations in all bee groups after the event; however, the administration of probiotics and Quassia amara help fight oxidative stress in bees. Significantly lower concentrations of Ni, S, and U for honey in the probiotic group and a general and significant decrease in elemental concentrations for beeswax in the probiotic group and Li in the Quassia amara group were observed after the fire waste event. The comparison of the metabolic profiles through pre-and post-event PCA analyses showed that bees treated with different feeds react differently to the environmental event. The greatest differences in metabolic profiles are observed between the placebo-fed bees compared to the others. This study can help to understand how some stress factors can affect the health of bees and to take measures to protect these precious insects.

“…This combination significantly reduced root-galling, and nematode populations in addition to improving crop growth in greenhouse trials ( Chavarría-Carvajal et al, 2001 ; Kokalis-Burelle et al, 2002 ). Also, Flor-Peregrín et al (2017) showed that nematode suppression and increase in plant growth was more pronounced when garlic extract was combined with mycorrhizal fungi. However, neem and thyme extract instead showed negative interaction with mycorrhizal fungi.…”

The global nematicides market is expected to continue growing. With an increasing demand for synthetic chemical-free organic foods, botanical nematicides are taking the lead as replacements. Consequently, in the recent years, there have been vigorous efforts towards identification of the active secondary metabolites from various plants. These include mostly glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products such as isothiocyanates; flavonoids, alkaloids, limonoids, quassinoids, saponins, and the more recently probed essential oils, among others. And despite their overwhelming potential, variabilities in quality, efficacy, potency and composition continue to persist, and commercialization of new botanical nematicides is still lagging. Herein, we have reviewed the history of botanical nematicides and regional progresses, the potency of the identified phytochemicals from the key important plant families, and deciphered some of the impediments involved in standardization of the active compounds in addition to the concerns over the safety of the purified compounds to non-target microbial communities.
