Abstract
Plant-parasitic nematodes attack is an important problem on crop
production worldwide. Meloidogyne javanica is a potentially damaging
pest of several crops. Laboratory studies were conducted to examine
the effect of supernatant liquid from the synthesis of silver nanoparticles
with agricultural wastes on the survival and hatching of Meloidogyne
javanica juveniles and eggs. The experiment consisted of five
treatments (carbofuran, corn cobs, rice husk, guinea corn chaff, and
a distilled water control) at three concentrations of 10, 20, and 30%.
Each was repeated three points in a complete randomized design.
Nematicidal bioassay revealed a consequential (p=0.05) decrease
in egg hatch rate in 20 and 30% concentrations of the nanoparticle
supernatant liquid. Similarly, percentage mortality increased
significantly (p=0.05) in the nano supernatant liquid, with the corncob
silver nanoparticle having the highest percentage of mortality. These
results concluded that the agricultural waste of silver nanoparticle
supernatant liquid could be cost-effective and eco-friendly of nematicide
