Abstract
The products of thermally-degraded Cymbopogon
citratus were evaluated for nematicidal activity as an alternative
of toxic synthetics. The products exhibited moderate nematicidal
activity, but not as significantly (p<0.05) effective as carbofuran,
a synthetic nematicide. Thermally degraded products of fresh
Cymbopogon citratus (CMGC/th/fresh) was the most promising
at 90 mg/mL and could be used in place of the toxic synthetic
nematicide
