| Sumario: | Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are an important damaging biotic agent for numerous crops around the world, causing serious losses directly and indirectly. Cultural and chemical control strategies were mainly used to PPNs management. However, the choice of chemical nematicides is strictly limited in the agrosystems due to their toxicity, their impact to the environment and, therefore, banning policies. The main lines of action of biological control strategies for nematode control, are based on the development of antagonist microorganism formulations and the use of plant extracts with nematicidal potential. There are many plant secondary metabolites with effective nematicidal potential. In this sense, glucosinolates (GSLs) and, especially, glucosinolate hydrolysis products (GHPs) show relevant nematicidal activity. The effects through which these compounds control nematodes, both direct and indirect are diverse, such as toxicity, anti-hatching effect or promotion of competing saprophytic nematodes or nematophagous bacteria populations. The present work compiles many of the studies that describe the use of GSLs and GHPs as nematicides in agriculture, through very diverse strategies that range from crop rotation with Brassicales to the direct application of GSLs and GHPs to the soil. The authors present GSLs and GHPs as a more sustainable and suitable alternative in nematode control, remarking the need to further research in the modes of action and the impact on environment. |
