Abstract
Plant-parasitic nematodes are microscopic, obligatory endoparasites with worldwide distribution can cause severe damage to various agricultural crops. The study of in vitro nematicidal activity of actinobacteria reveals that Streptomyces antibioticus strain M7 against nematode inhibition of juvenile mortality and egg hatching in Meloidogyne incognita. Streptomyces antibioticus strain M7 and actinomycins have potential to develop as safe nematicidal agents to control the root-knot nematodes and to improve the crop yield.
