Meloidogyne incognita, a widely distributed plant parasite that is considered one of the most devastating species for various crops, has traditionally been controlled through use synthetic products. However, risks associated with these products human health and environment have prompted search more sustainable alternatives. In this context, extracts rich in secondary metabolites, such as those Tagetes zypaquirensis Dysphania ambrosioides, shown potential nematode management, although their efficacy varies. This study aimed to evaluate effect T. zypaquirensis, Lonchocarpus urucu, D. Urera laciniata, Ricinus communis on population M. incognita Selenicereus megalanthus under greenhouse conditions. A completely randomized block experimental design was used three replicates per treatment six yellow pitahaya (or dragon fruit) plants unit. total 10 g extract applied at two application times: 7 days before inoculation after. addition, controls were included: an absolute control, no inoculation, inoculated consisting exposed only nematodes. The results showed preventive ambrosioides significantly reduced populations compared control. At 60 days, both able reduce number nodules roots, reproductive factors close 1 (1.47 1.50), indicating efficient Moreover, treated superior growth other treatments conclusion, had positive influence control caused improvement variables. These suggest botanical could be adopted within integrated management strategies agriculture, contributing sustainability reduction chemicals.
