Abstract
Aqueous and ethanol extracts of leaves and stem of Rhizophora mucronata plant were tested for their nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne javanica root knot nematode. Results showed that R. mucronata exerted more lethal effect in mortality of juveniles as compared to hatching of juveniles. Of the different plant parts used, stem showed more nematicidal effect as compared to leaves in aqueous extract as well as in ethanol extract except that in mortality leaves showed more nematicidal effect in ethanol extract.
