Abstract Background/Objective. Seed extracts from Canavalia ensiformis have shown both antiparasitic and repellent effects against pests. To evaluate the effectiveness of the extract combined with silicon dioxide nanoparticles (NPs) against Meloidogyne incognita eggs.
Materials and Methods. In vitro experiments were conducted to assess the effects of C. ensiformis seed extracts, alone and combined with silicon dioxide NPs, on M. incognita juveniles hatching. 150 eggs were used, and concentrations of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 % of the extract were applied. Additionally, concentrations of the extract at 0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 %, each combined with NP concentrations at 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, and 0.14 %, were evaluated.
Results. None of the treatments prevented more than 30 % of juveniles hatching. It was concluded that modifying the technique for obtaining C. ensiformis seed extract could have a complementary ovicidal effect; however, increasing the extract concentrations could serve as a medium for the proliferation of saprophytic fungi and other microorganisms.
Conclusion. The treatments did not show significant ovicidal effects.
Keywords: Nematodes, bioassays, concentrations, hatching.
