In Retrospect: Nematicides in Plants

Abstract

Even while nematicidal compounds have their uses in agriculture, there are now legitimate worries that their overuse may increase biodegradation processes in soil, which would manifest as a decrease in the compounds' efficacy in the field and the evolution of resistance. Also, because of the ban on using methyl bromide, there is a pressing need for a reliable replacement for organophosporous and carbamate compounds like fosthiazate, fenamiphos, oXamyl, and aldicarb. In order to increase crop output while still preserving and contributing to agricultural sustainability, integrated pest control tactics have been used globally in recent years. Bionematicides, a kind of biopesticide, are a helpful tool in the arsenal of pest control methods. In particular, we have investigated the worldwide library for prospective nematicidal chemicals as part of our continuing investigation into natural nematicides of botanical origin. Here, we detail the chemical properties and structural foundation for the nematicidal action of plant metabolites.
