Abstract

Plant-parasitic nematodes cause damage to plants leading to yield losses. Nematode control in plants relies primarily on chemical nematicides. The use of nematicides has led to concern for environmental and worker safety, residue problem and groundwater contamination. Avermectin group is an important tools for managing plant parasitic nematode.The avermectins are soil microorganisms belongs to actinobacteria, Streptomyces avermectinius (formerly, S. avermitilis).The Abamectin compounds are important tools in crop protection and are currently registered for use as a nematicide and insecticide. Abamectin acts on nematode in nerve and muscle cells which finally causing death of nematodes and inhibiting egg hatching. This review provides a comprehensive overview of several studies that shown the efficacy of abamectin as a biocontrol method for combating plant-parasitic nematodes.
