In Vitro Study on Nematicidal Effect of Silver Nanoparticles Against <i>Meloidogyne incognita</i>.

ABSTRACT: Plant-parasitic nematodes remain a significant challenge to agriculture and horticulture. Unfortunately, there is a lack of rapid, efficient and eco-friendly control methods. Nanomaterials, therefore, appear to be a promising source of new plant protection strategies. In the current study, two nanosystems-based on one-component (Ag) or two-component (AgZn) colloidal systems-and an aqueous solution of AgNO₃, were explored for their potential in nematode control, using Meloidogyne incognita-the most economically important root-knot nematode-as a model nematode. In vitro laboratory tests demonstrated high efficacy of all the tested compounds towards M. incognita. Incubation with an extremely low concentration of silver compounds (0.05 ppm) resulted in a 100% reduction
