Abstract
The aqueous, methanol and chloroform extracts of Trigonella foenum-graecum caused significant (p < 0.05) mortality of Meloidogyne javanica larvae. The methanol soluble fraction eluted from pure distilled water showed the high est (> 92%) nematicidal activity compared with the fractions eluted from pu re methanol and different ratios of chloroform and methanol indicate that t he nematicidal compound was polar in nature.
