ABSTRACT

This research focuses on Six Pakistani medicinal plants, from which five different extracts methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, hexane, and chloroform were prepared from various plant. Preliminary phytochemical analysis of these extracts revealed the existence of main phytochemical constitutes, including alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins and phenolic compounds. These compounds were found to contribute to the observed anti-nematicidal activity of the plant extracts. The study concluded that the plant extracts possess significant potential as nematicidal agents based on their phytochemical composition and demonstrated activity against nematodes. The effectiveness of medicinal plant extracts against M. incognita, the research also emphasizes the need for further investigations to isolate active components, optimize concentrations, and develop practical application methods for field use. The research emphasizes the need for further investigations to isolate active components, optimize concentrations, and develop practical application methods for field use. These findings contribute to ongoing efforts aimed at developing environmentally sustainable nematode management solutions.
