An nematophagous fungi Arthrobotrys thaumasia Nema-1 and Bacillus subtilis C-9, which degrade the collagen and gelatin, were isolated from horticulture plantation soil in Kyungpook Sungju-gun Seonnam-myun and Chungnam Gongju-gun Woosung-myun to develop biological nematode pesticide. When $5,000mg\;kg^{-1}$ of A. thaumasia Nema-1 nematicide powder ($7.0{\times}10^3cfu\;g^{-1}$) was treated to pot including Meloidogyne incognita, the number of nematode's egg mass, which is a index of nematicidal activity, decreased to 35% compared to control. While the number of nematode's egg mass decreased to 67% by treating the nematicide powder mixture of $5,000mg\;kg^{-1}$ Nema-1 and B. subtilis C-9 ($8.5{\times}10^5cfu\;g^{-1}$). Furthermore the number of nematode's egg mass of the mixture containing cinnamon extract $10mg\;kg^{-1}$, each $5,000mg\;kg^{-1}$ of Nema-1 and C-9 nematicide powder was decreased to 84%, comparing to the result showed the number of nematode's egg mass decreased to 24%, by the treatment of chemical nemato pesticide Fosthiazate $24mg\;kg^{-1}$. These results suggested the mixture of microorganisms and plant extract was more effective biological nematicide than the case of only microorganism or plant extract for nematode control.

An nematophagous fungi Arthrobotrys thaumasia Nema-1 and Pseudomonas putida C-5, which degrade the collagen and gelatin, was isolated from controlled horticultural soils in Seonnam-myun, Sungju-gun, Kyungpook and Woosung-myun, Gongju-shi, Chungnam to develop biological nematode pesticide. When $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ of A. thaumasia Nema-1 culture was treated to Meloidogyne incognita, the nematicidal activity resulted in 55% at 72 hours after treatment. While the nematicidal activity increased to 65% by treating the culture mixture of $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ Nema-1 and P. putida C-5 after 72 hours. Furthermore, the nematicidal activity of the mixture containing cinnamon extract $50mg\;L^{-1}$, each $5,000mL\;L^{-1}$ of Nema-1 and C-5 culture was elevated to 89% at 72 hours after treatment, comparing to the result showed 17% and 57% of the nematicidal activity, respectively by the treatment of chemical nemato pesticide Fosthiazate $50mg\;L^{-1}$ and neem oil $2,000mL\;L^{-1}$. These results suggested that the mixture of microorganisms and plant extract were more effective biological nematicide than the case of only microorganism or plant extract for nematode control.

Commercial biocontrol of microbial plant diseases and plant pests, such as nematodes, requires field-effective formulations. The isolate Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 is a Gram-negative bacterium that controls microbial plant pathogens both directly and indirectly. This bacterium also has nematocidal activity. In this study, we report on the efficacy of a wettable powder-type formulation of P. chlororaphis O6. Culturable bacteria in the formulated product were retained at above $1{\times}10^8$ colony forming units/g after storage of the powder at $25^{\circ}C$ for six months. Foliar application of the diluted formulated product controlled leaf blight and gray mold in tomato. The product also displayed preventative and curative controls for root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) in tomato. Under laboratory conditions and for commercially grown melon, the control was at levels comparable to that of a standard commercial chemical nematicide. The results indicated that the wettable powder formulation product of P. chlororaphis O6 can be used for control of plant microbial pathogens and root-knot nematodes.

This study evaluated the in vitro nematicidal activity of Glycyrrhiza uralensis root extracts (GuRE) on Meloidogyne incognita eggs and juveniles. The results showed that treatment of M. incognita eggs with 2.0 mg/mL GuRE for 5 and 10 d resulted in 64.0 and 68.1% hatch inhibition, respectively. Furthermore, the relative mortality of J2 was 96.2% after treatment with 2.0 mg/mL GuRE for 48 h. Changes in the shape of the eggs and juveniles were determined after incubation with 2.0 mg/mL GuRE for 5 d and 48 h, respectively. These preliminary results suggest that GuRE can be used as an environment-friendly bio-nematicide to control root-knot nematodes. In the future, in vivo assays should be conducted using GuRE to ascertain its potential for widespread application as a nematicide.

Control of nematode has become difficult owing to the restricted use of effective soil fumigant, methyl bromide, and other non-fumigant nematicides. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to develop microbial nematicide to replace chemical nematicides. In this study, the 50% aqueous methanol extraction solution of fermentation broths of 2,700 actinomycete strains were tested for their nematicidal activity against second stage of juveniles (J2s) of Meloidogyne incognita. As the results, only the 50% aqueous methanol extraction solution of AN110065, at 20% equivalent to 10% fermentation broth, showed strong nematicidal activity with 78.9% of mortality 24 h after treatment and 94.1% of mortality at 72 h. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the strain sequence was 99.78% identical to Streptomyces netropsis. The extract of S. netropsis AN110065 fermentation broth was successively partitioned with ethyl acetate and butanol and then the ethyl acetate, butanol and water layers were investigated for their nematicidal activity against the M. incognita. At $1000{\mu}g/ml$, ethyl acetate layer showed the strongest activity of 83.5% of juvenile mortality 72 h after treatment. The pot experiment using the fermentation broth of AN110065 on tomato plant against M. incognita displayed that it evidently suppressed gall formation at a 10-fold diluent treatment. The tomato plants treated with the fermentation broth of S. netropsis AN110065 did not show any phytotoxicity. The results suggest that S. netropsis AN110065 has a potential to serve as microbial nematicide in organic agriculture.

Pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is one of the most serious pests of pine tree. Trunk injection of some nematicides in tree is well known as an effective control method. However there are some limitating factors which hindering the efficacy of trunk injection in field or potted tree. In this study we suggested easy and useful alternative screening methods of nematicides against PWN. Reproduction of PWN was influenced by tree twig moisture (high reproduction in high moisture trig) and paraffin coating was 78.6% reduced moisture loss in tested twig. There were no reproduction different in up and down site from infection site of twig at 1 month after inoculation of PWN and also distance (5 and 10 cm) from inoculation site of PWN did not influence the reproduction of PWN. Numbers of reproduced PWN were higher with decreasing diameter of twig. Numbers of reproduced PWN were similar to P. thunbergii and P. densiflora. However reproduction was increased depending on high inoculation density and longer propagation period. When inoculation of PWN on cut twig injected with emamectin benzoate 2.15% EC and morantel tartrate 8% SL in trunk of Pinus thunbergii in the field, PWN number were significantly reduced than untreated control. We suggest this screening method for PWN control agents.

Pine wood nematode, Bursaphlenchus xylophilus is a fatal damaging pest, infecting pinewood trees and is one of the serious forest pest in Korea. Trunk injection is one of the most effective method to protect the live pine trees from nematode infection. The aim of this research was to reveal the efficacy of the nematicidal materials from 46 Kyrgyzstan, 88 Vietnam plant materials and 21 active materials (${\alpha}$-terpinene, ${\alpha}$-pinene, ${\beta}$-thujaplicin, cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, emodin, geraniol, limonone, methyl palmitate, matrine, myrcene, methyl gallate, nicotine, quassin, resveratrol, rotenone, thymol, thujaplicin, terthiophene, tuberstemonine, ${\gamma}$-terpinene) isolated from plants for using as trunk injection agents. Eclipta prostrata extract was highly effective against pine wood nematode in plant extracts and terthiophene has the best nematicidal activity from active materials isolated from plants. Foliar spray of terthiophene on Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii) tree reduced proliferation of inoculated pine wood nematode at 22 days after treatment, however no efficacy was found over 22 days. Eclipta prostrata extract and terthiophene can be used as nematicide for further nematicidal efficacy test against any other plant parasitic nematodes and trunk injection efficacy against pine wood nematode.
