title: Nematicidal principles from two species of lamiaceae.
abstract: Aqueous extracts of Ocimum sanctum and O. basilicum leaves contained compounds that killed Meloidogyne incognita larvae in 160 min. Thin layer and gas-liquid chromatography, and infrared spectrophotometry indicated that the essential oils eugenol and linalool were the active nematicidal compounds.
