Experimental results on the use of hemp tissues and extracts for nematode management_

Treatment with hempTarget nematode(s)ResultsAuthors
Rotation crop with soybeanHeterodera glycinesJ2 numbers were reduced 30%, soybean yields increased 11% when soybean followed hempZhang et al. (2013)
Chopped leaves incorporated into potted soilMeloidogyne incognitaReproduction on tomato reduced 74% but plant growth parameters not significantly improvedKhanna and Sharma (1998)
Chopped leavesTylenchorhynchus sp. Helicotylenchus sp.42% reduction 82% reductionSomvanshi and Gupta (2003)
Pulverized leaves incorporated into soilMeloidogyne incognitaGalls decreased up to 54% on subsequent cropKayani et al. (2012)
Chopped leavesMeloidogyne incognitaIncorporation of leaves did not improve growth of False Eranthemum infected with the nematodeGanaie and Khan (2017)
Whole plant extractHoplolaimus indicus Longidorus sp. Pratylenchus sp. Xiphinema americanumHigh nematode mortalityPandey and Dwivedi (2000)
Plant extractAphelenchoides composticola70% mortality after 72 hrKhanna et al. (1988)a
Green manure or plant powderMeloidogyne incognita Helicotylenchus dihystera Tylenchorhynchus nudus Pratylenchus zeaeFor green manure, increased plant growth, reduced nematode numbers; for plant powder, reduced nematode numbers but no improvement in plant growthThakur (2014)
Aqueous extract of stems, leaves, inflorescencesStrongylus papillosus Haemonchus contortus (mammal parasites)Weak effect on S. papillosus J1, J2; no effect on J3 or H. contortusBoyko and Brygadyrenko (2019)
Ethanol extracts of roots, leaves, inflorescencesSteinernema spp. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (EPNs)Highest attraction of dauer juveniles was to inflorescence extractsLaznik et al. (2020)
Water extracts of plant tissueMeloidogyne incognitaHigh mortality of J2Singh and Singh (2002)
Root and shoot extractsHoplolaimus indicus Rotylenchulus reniformis Tylenchorynchus brassicaeEffective mortality of nematode species tested down to 1:10 dilutionHaseeb et al. (1978)
Root extractMeloidogyne incognitaInhibited egg hatch, increased juvenile mortalityGanaie and Khan (2016)
Leaf extractMeloidogyne incognita74–96% juvenile mortalitySaxena and Gupta (2004)
Leaf extractMeloidogyne incognita88% inhibition of egg hatchAdegbite (2011)
Water extracts from ground leavesMeloidogyne javanicaJ2 mortality was 92% or higher at dilutions of 1:5 to 1:40Nandal and Bhatti (1983)
Water extracts from ground leavesMeloidogyne javanicaActivity of 10-day-old extracts to J2 remained above 94%Nandal and Bhatti (1986)
Hot and cold-water leaf extractsAphelenchoides composticolaMortality increased with concentration, hot-water extracts more effective than cold extractsGrewal (1989)
Aqueous leaf extractHeterodera cajani100% mortality of J2 after 24 and 48 hr of exposureMojumdar et al. (1989)
Boiled aqueous leaf extractMeloidogyne incognitaSoaking chickpea seed in extract totally inhibited J2 invasion of seedlingsMojumder and Mishra (1991)
Water extract of leavesMeloidogyne incognita100% mortality of juvenilesSharma (1996)
Water extracts of macerated leavesMeloidogyne incognitaPlant growth improved and J2 numbers reduced 40% on brinjal (eggplant) but not as much as with margosa extractShah et al. (2018)
Methanol extracts of dried, pulverized leavesMeloidogyne javanica89% mortality of J2 in 5% solutionAmini et al. (2011)
Water extracts from ground leavesMeloidogyne incognitaExtracts gave high mortality of J2 after 72 hrsMukhtar et al. (2013)
