Abstract

Nematicidal activity of essential oil of Pelargonium graveolens L. (cv. Algerian) and its major constituents namely citronellol, geraniol and linalool was determined against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Geraniol was found to be the most effective constituent which was followed by citronellol and linalool.
