abstract = "Essential oils from citrus plants are getting increasing interest in the agricultural pest
management. Numerous studies demonstrate their antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal
and nematicidal properties. This study was conducted to determine the activity of the
essential oils from citrus plants (bergamot, bitter orange, grapefruit, mandarin, orange, and
lemon) against the rhabditid nematode Panagrolaimus sp. In vitro nematicide screening was
performed with aqueous solutions of essential oils in serial dilutions (1-0.0078%). The contact
bioassay was done in small glass Petri dishes containing 3 ml of solution and 50 nematodes
at 18oC. The experiment was carried out in five replicates. The lethal effect was monitored
after 24h. Median lethal concentration (LC50) was calculated using the Probit analysis. The
best nematicidal activity performed the essential oil from lemon, followed by bergamot.
The bitter orange had better nematicidal properties than mandarin and grapefruit essential
oils. The least activity demonstrated orange oil.",
