?DATURA METEL L. A PLANT WITH NEMATICIDAL POTENTIAL
Keywords:
Datura metel L., Total alkaloids, Nematodes.Abstract
Nematicidal activities of Datura metel L. leaves extracted in various solvents were tested. A sample of total
alkaloids content and a sample of hyoscine extracted from D. metelleaves were also assayed for their nematicidal
action.Hoplolaimus indicus (Sher, 1963),Helicotylenchus multicinctus (Cobb, 1893; Golden, 1956)andMeloidogyne
incognita (Kofoid and White 1919;Chitwood, 1949)were selected as test nematodes. It has been observed that total
