Efficacy of 2-undecanol produced by <i>Paenibacillus polymyxa</i> KM2501-1 in controlling <i>Meloidogyne incognita</i>.

ABSTRACT: Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are notoriously challenging to control because of their broad host spectrum and swift proliferation. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop safe and effective nematicides. Microorganisms and their metabolites have the potential to control RKNs safely and effectively. Paenibacillus polymyxa KM2501-1 can produce a range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with nematicidal activities, among which 2-undecanol is a potential biocontrol agent against Meloidogyne incognita. Nonetheless, the mechanism by which 2-undecanol prevents RKN infection in plant roots remains unclear. 2-Undecanol has many activities against M. incognita in vitro, including contact (LC₅₀ = 34.5 mg/L), fumigation (LC₅₀ = 191.6 mg/L), attraction,
